Answer:

Total cost = 56.16 cents

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 45 Watts

Time = 4 hours

Number of days = 30 days

Cost = 10.4 cents

To find how much does it cost her to watch TV for one month;

First of all, we would determine the energy consumption of the TV;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 45 * 4

Energy = 180 Watt-hour = 180/1000 = 0.18 Kwh (1 Kilowatts is equal to 1000 watts).

Energy consumption = 0.18 Kwh

Next, we find the total cost;

Total cost = energy * number of days * cost

Total cost = 0.18 * 30 * 10.4

Total cost = 56.16 cents
