Question:

An energy-efficient light-bulb, taking in 28.0 W of power, can produce the same level of brightness as a conventional bulb operating at power 100 W. The lifetime of the energy efficient bulb is 10 000 h and its purchase price is $17.0, whereas the conventional bulb has lifetime 750 h and costs $0.420 per bulb. Determine the total savings obtained by using one energy-efficient bulb over its lifetime, as opposed to using conventional bulbs over the same time period. Assume an energy cost of $0.080 0 per kilowatt-hour.
