Hi, my problem is this two questions, don't know how to do it :/
If anyone wants to give it a try i will be very grateful.
Btw not sure if this is the right category if its not please let me know :)

I need how to know basically how to do the equations.

As many barbecues as possible were needed at the barbecue party. How many 2000 watts of barbecue could be plugged into an outlet with a 16 A fuse. The operating voltage is 230 V



Hair dryer has a power of 1000 W.

a) How much electricity is consumed when using the hairdryer for 5 minutes?


b) How much does drying cost if the price of 1 kWh is 12 cents?

5 minutes = 1/12 hour

1000 W = 1kW

You are ready for a) and b)
