Answer:
2400 rupees
Explanation:
Given :
- Rating of the air conditioner = 2 kilowatts
- Time for which the air conditioner runs per day = 8 hours
- Price of each Kwh = 5 rupees
To find :
- Monthly bill when the air conditioner is used
Daily usage = 2×8
Daily usage = 16 Kwh
Monthly usage = 16Kwh × 30
Monthly usage = 480 Kwh
As the cost of each Kwh is 5 rupees we need to multiply the monthly usage by 5
Monthly bill = 5×480 = 2400 rupees
The monthly bill is equal to 2400 rupees as used by the Air conditioner
