A Clothes Dryer has a wattage rating of 4500W and has been in operation for 4 hours and 45 minutes. The Energy Company charges 9 cent per kWh during this time window to operate the Clothes Dryer. Round to tenth - place degree of accuracy. Energy (kWh) = (Power (W) * Time(h)) / 1000 How much energy is consumed by the Clothes Dryer (kWh)? What is the total charge from the Energy Company to operate the Clothes Dryer for 4 hours and 45 minutes, (cents)?
