Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Gas central heating was used for 5days
At a rate of 102kWh of energy
Then, 1 kWh = 7p
So,
The total time is 5days
t = 5days
1 day = 24hours
Then, t = 5days = 5 × 24 = 120hours
Given 102kWh, then, they consumers 102 kW in one hour, then, for the 120hours,
The total energy used is 102 × 24
Then, total energy = 2448 kWh
So, 1 kWh = 7p,
Then, 2448 kWh = 7 × 2448
2448 kWh = 17,136 p.
So, the cost of the using central heat is 17,136 p
