Your family has asked you to estimate the operating costs of your clothes dryer for the year. The clothes dryer in your home has a power rating of 2250 W. To dry one typical load of clothes the dryer will run for approximately 45 minutes. In Ontario, the cost of electricity is $0.11/kWh. Calculate the costs to run the dryer for your family for one year.

The costs to run the dryer for one year are $ 9.03.

Explanation:

Given that the clothes dryer in my home has a power rating of 2250 Watts, and to dry one typical load of clothes the dryer will run for approximately 45 minutes, and in Ontario, the cost of electricity is $ 0.11 / kWh, to calculate the costs to run the dryer for one year the following calculation must be performed:

1 watt = 0.001 kilowatt

2250/45 = 50 watts per minute

45 x 365 = 16,425 / 60 = 273.75 hours of consumption

50 x 60 = 300 watt = 0.3 kw / h

0.3 x 273.75 = 82.125

82.125 x 0.11 = 9.03

Therefore, the costs to run the dryer for one year are $ 9.03.
