What is the cost of running five 50W lamps and four 100W lamps for 10 hours if electrical energy costs 2 kobo per kWh?
N0.65
N0.13
N3.90
N39.00
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
