N0.13

N234.00
Explanation
PT = (5 x 50) + (100 x 4)
= 650watts
Energy(kWhr) = 650 x 10-3 x 10
= 6.5 kWhr
1kWhr cost 2 kobo ; 6.5 kWhr will cost \(\frac{2 \times 6.5}{1}\)
= 13 kobo
= 650watts
Energy(kWhr) = 650 x 10-3 x 10
= 6.5 kWhr
1kWhr cost 2 kobo ; 6.5 kWhr will cost \(\frac{2 \times 6.5}{1}\)
= 13 kobo
