Chico · Answer 1

69.62

Explanation:

The calculation of this question is as below:-

Consumption: 187W

Everyday operates: 17hours

cost of electricity: 0.06 per kWh

so, the annual operating cost

= Consumption : kWh * Everyday operates * cost of electricity * total number of days in a year

Annual operating cost = 187W : 1000 * 17h * 0.06 * 365 days

= 69.62
