Electricity Cost Help me :(
A solar-cell installation that can convert 15.5% of the sun's energy into electricity has been built. The device delivers 1.0kW of power. If it produces energy at a cost of $0.080/kw*h, how much energy must the sun provide to produce $1000.00 worth of energy.
??
? = energy
given: cost of energy = $0.080/kw*h
cost = $1000
equation:
$1000.00 = (energy)($0.080/kw*h)
Sun's Energy = 12.500kwH
I don't know how to do this! Help Please!
