Question 33
An energy-efficient lightbulb, taking in p1 =
W of power, can produce the same level of brightness as a conventional lightbulb operating at power
W. The ifetime of the energy-efficient bulb is t1 =
h and its purchase price is
$, whereas the conventional bulb has a lifetime of
h and costs
$. Determine the total savings obtained by using one energy-efficient bulb over its lifetime as opposed to using conventional bulbs over the same time interval. Assume an energy cost of
$ per kilowatt-hour
