Explanation:
An oven at a 24 hr diner uses 24.7 A of electricity when it operates on a 120 V circuit.
Power consumed (P) = 24.7 (120) = 2964 W
Hours of use per day = 24
Energy consumed per day = [tex]\frac{Power (time)}{1000}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2964 (24)}{1000}[/tex] = 71.136 kWh/day
Electricity costs per kWh = $0.080
Total energy costs = 0.08 (71.136) = $5.69
Total cost to run the stove while cooking food for one day = $5.69
