Question:
Jaypeth paid ₱1250.00 for electric bill. How much energy (in kWh) is consumed if the electric company charges ₱6.88/kWh?
A. 186.81
B. 181.69
C. 188.61
D. 181.86
Answer: B. 181.69 kWh
Computation:
In order to compute for the energy used by Jaypeth, divide the total amount paid for the month with the amount paid per kilowatt used such that, ₱1250.00/₱6.88/kWh = 181.686046512 which when rounded off to the nearest hundredths is 181.69 kWh. Therefore, Jaypeth had consumed 181.69 kWh for the month.
Notes:
To calculate your own electric bill, consider the power rate of your appliances using the formula: P = VI where P refers to the power which is measured by watts, V refers to voltage that is measured by volts, and I refers to current which is measured by amperes.
In computing the power rating of a particular appliance, the unit is in kilowatt (kW) which is equal to 1000 watts. All of the appliances in a household may have a combined power rating, that is why, energy is usually computed based on the time of usage of the appliances. To get the total energy used by an appliance in an hour, multiply the power consumption by the one hour as in the formula: E = Pt which stands for energy is equals to power times time.
