A Play station 4 draws 130 Watts of power during game play. The power company charges
$0.26 per kilowatt – hour (kWh). If you played 3 hours of video games every day, how much does it cost to play X-Box during the month of April?
3 hr /day *30 days * 0.13 kw * 0.26 $ /kwhr
= 3 * 30 * 0.13 * 0.36 $
3h/day * 30days = 90 h.
0.13kW * 90h = 11.7 kWh.
Cost = 11.7kWh * 0.26/kWh =
To calculate the cost of playing the PlayStation 4 (X-Box) for the month of April, we need to follow these steps:
1. Determine the total number of hours spent playing in April.
Since you play 3 hours of video games every day, multiply 3 by the number of days in April.
2. Calculate the total amount of electricity consumed in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Multiply the total number of hours played in April by the power draw of the PlayStation 4, which is 130 Watts.
Since power is measured in Watts and the power company charges per kilowatt-hour, we need to convert Watts to kilowatts. Divide the total power consumption in Watts by 1000 to convert it to kilowatts.
3. Calculate the total cost of electricity consumed.
Multiply the total amount of electricity consumed in kilowatt-hours by the cost per kilowatt-hour charged by the power company, which is $0.26.
Now, let's calculate the cost:
1. Total hours played in April: 3 hours/day * 30 days = 90 hours
2. Total power consumption in kWh: (90 hours * 130 Watts) / 1000 = 11.7 kWh
3. Total cost of electricity consumed: 11.7 kWh * $0.26/kWh = $3.042
Therefore, it will cost $3.042 to play the PlayStation 4 (X-Box) during the month of April.
