Question

5. Compare the operating costs of a home refrigerator that uses 700 kWh electricity annually to one that uses 1900 kWh. The cost of electricity is $0.10 kWh. If this were enacted nationally, such that 10 million refrigerators were effected, what would be the total savings in kilowatt-hours? (Ans. 1.2 x 10^10 kWh)

Step 1

This is done by subtracting the energy consumption of the more efficient refrigerator from the less efficient one: 1900 kWh - 700 kWh = 1200 kWh This means that each refrigerator would save 1200 kWh of electricity per year if it were as efficient as the one that Show more…
