A digital clock has an operating resistance of 11000 and is plugged into a 114-V outlet. Assume the clock obeys Ohm's law.

If the owner of the clock pays $0.09 per kWh, what does it cost to operate the clock for 34 days?

Where do I even begin?

What current goes through the clock?

How does power depend on the current and voltage?
