The Table shows information about three electrical appliances used in a home each day.

Table

AppliancePowerTime used each day
electric shower9.0 kW12 minutes
television120 W5.0 hours
kettle2.4 kW15 minutes

Use the equation: energy transferred (kW h)=power (kW)×time (h)\text{energy transferred (kW h)} = \text{power (kW)} \times \text{time (h)}energy transferred (kW h)=power (kW)×time (h)

a.

Calculate the energy transferred by the electric shower each day in kW h\text{kW h}kW h.

[2]
b.

Show that the television transfers 0.60 kW h each day.

c.

Electricity costs 28p for each kW h\text{kW h}kW h.

Calculate the total cost of using all three appliances for one day.
