APFIVE Urban Energy Consumption Calculation
A city with a population of $$1,000,000$$ has a daily per capita energy consumption of $$150$$ kWh. After implementing smart growth initiatives, the population increases by $$5\%$$ and per capita energy consumption decreases by $$10\%$$. What is the new total daily energy consumption for the city?
A
Approximately $$150 \text{ kWh/person} \times 1,000,000 \text{ persons} = 150,000,000$$ kWh per day
B
Approximately $$135 \text{ kWh/person} \times 1,050,000 \text{ persons} = 141,750,000$$ kWh per day
C
Approximately $$135 \text{ kWh/person} \times 1,000,000 \text{ persons} = 135,000,000$$ kWh per day
D
Approximately $$150 \text{ kWh/person} \times 1,050,000 \text{ persons} = 157,500,000$$ kWh per day
