Elisa · Answer 1

80 W divided by 1000 (to convert to kW) = 0.08 kW

The total cost can be calculated by multiplying wattage by time by electricity cost. Note how the units will cancel out, given that 2 weeks is equal to 14 days.

(0.08 kW) (0.5 h/day) (14 days) = 0.56 kWh

Multiply by the cost: ($0.08/kWh) (0.56 kWh) = $0.0448

So the closest answer is the first choice.
