Homework Statement


What does it cost in cents to leave a 1800 Watt electric oven on for 7 hours? Assume that you pay 10 cents for every kilowatt hour which you use.

Homework Equations


Well i don't know if I am supposed to use P=E/t. i don't know how I am supposed to use it

The Attempt at a Solution


Do i not convert 1800 Watts to 1.8 Kilowatts, then multiply 1.8 by 7 hours..which is 12.6 then by .10 cents, which makes the answer 1.26?
It is incorrect though.Thanks for your help.
