A family and a couple live together in a duplex. Last year, the family used 330 kilowatts of electricity and the couple used 514 kilowatts. In total, how many kilowatts did they use last year?

Question

​
kilowatts

Answer 1

To find the total kilowatts used by the family and the couple, you simply need to add the amount used by each:

Family's usage: 330 kilowatts
Couple's usage: 514 kilowatts

Total usage = 330 + 514 = 844 kilowatts

Thus, they used a total of 844 kilowatts last year.
