Ok first here is what you do.

How many hours in a day? Answer: 24

Multiply 5 by 24. Answer: 120

Now you have 120 cents for one day for one light.

Multiply 120 cents by the 31 days. Answer: $37.20 in total for 1 light

Multiply $37.20 by the 800 lights. Answer: $29,760

Thats what I got.

Okay.. 800 x $0.05 = $40.00 an hour.

$40.00 x 24(hours in a day) = $960 a day

$960 x 31days = $29,760

So you've got 800 lights, 0.05 dollars an hour. 800*0.05 = $40 per hour
24 hours in a day. 24*40 = $960
$960 per day, 31 days total. 960*31 = $29760

CanUWish, you were right. :shifty: What's going on here?
