do you know how to compute elec consumption?

[woohoo]

Out of the given information below, please help me identify how much is the total kilowatt/hr share of the sub-meter out of the total kw/hr Mother meter per month and please show how to compute.

Please note that information were gathered on the same date per month:

Sub meter Mother meter
Feb 2010 19726 600
Mar. 2010 28806 1631

Appreciate your kind help.

I think your meter readings are reversed. I think the mother meter's readings are the large numbers (28806 - 19726 = 9,080 KWH), and the submeter's are the small figures (1631 - 600 = 1,031 KWH).

My golly, those are large numbers!

The simplest way to compute for the submeter's share is by determining the average cost that was billed to the mother meter (pesos / kwh) and multiplying the submeter's consumption by that quotient.

Let's say your March bill for the mother meter is 75,000. Your average rate is 75000/9080 = 8.26. Therefore you may charge the submeter 8.26 * 1,031 = 8,516.06.

HTH.
