Answer

$Money=55756.8\frac{dollars}{year}$

Work Step by Step

The energy that can be save at the classrooms at day is: $E=200*12*110W*4\frac{h}{day}=1056\frac{kWh}{day}$ The energy that can be save at the faculty offices at day is: $E=400*(\frac{12}{2})*110W*4\frac{h}{day}=1056\frac{kWh}{day}$ The total energy that can be save at day is: $E=1056\frac{kWh}{day}+1056\frac{kWh}{day}=2112\frac{kWh}{day}$ And at year: $E=2112\frac{kWh}{day}*\frac{240day}{1year}=506880\frac{kWh}{year}$ Finally the money that could be save is: $Money=506880\frac{kWh}{year}*\frac{0.11dollars}{kWh}=55756.8\frac{dollars}{year}$
