Answer:

$8640

Explanation:

kwh = P×t...................... Equation 1

Where P = power in watts, t = time in hours.

From the question,

Given: P = 100 Watts, t = 720 hours

Substitute these values into equation 1

Therefore,

The total kilowatt hour used by the patio light = 100×720

= 72000 kwh.

From the question,

If,  1 kwh ⇒ $0.12,

Then, 72000 kwh ⇒ $(0.12×72000)

= $8640

Hence, the patio light cost kevin $8640
