    This document summarizes a school-based assessment that analyzed the effect of ironing once per week versus every day on electricity bills. Data was collected by ironing once per week for a month and recording time, then ironing every day for a month and recording time. Calculations showed ironing every day cost $75.60 per month versus $19 per month for once a week, a savings of $56.60. Ironing every day accounted for 1.5% of the monthly bill versus 0.4% for once a week. The analysis concluded that ironing once per week rather than every day significantly reduces electricity costs and saves over $600 per year.

    Introduction
    I have noticed that my friend is constantly late for school. After asking about the situation, I

    learnt that she irons in the mornings before coming to school. I suggested to her that it is better to

    iron once per week instead of ironing each day because it reduces the cost of her monthly

    electrical bill. However, she was in great denial. I have decided to conduct a research using

    mathematical tools that is easily read by viewers. These data include: tables, chats and graph.

    The tools will be analyse to determine the effect of ironing once per week rather than every

    day. It is my intension to gather enough information to find out if the amount of time spent

    ironing affects the electrical bill, the percentage of her utility bill is consumed by ironing as well

    as how much money her family can save by practicing good ironing habits.

    Method of data collection

    To find out whether there is a difference in the cost of the electricity bill when ironing once per

    week versus every day, I will iron once per week for a month and record the time spent ironing. I
    will then iron every day for the next month and also record the time spent ironing for each day. I

    will visit the Jamaica Public Service (JPS) website to find the kilowatt charge per hour ($8.61).

    After receiving the rate per kilowatt hour, I will multiple the total amount of hours I spent

    ironing once per week for a month by the kilowatt hour as well the total time recorded for

    ironing every day for a month. By doing this I will ascertain which of the above mentioned

    practice is more cost efficient.

    Presentation of Data

    Formula (for finding cost of iron): �������� ��


    ℎ�������

    1000

    ● Every day for a month

    A 1100 watt iron was used to iron 23 minutes


    everyday ● 23 minutes to hours= 23/60 = 0.38hr
    1100×0.38×8.61

    1000= $3.60
    ● Cost for the month- $3.60 × 21 = $75.60

    ● Percentage of monthly bill-


    $75.60

    5000× 100 = 1.5%

    ● Once a week for a month

    ● 30 minutes to hours = 0.5hr


    1100×0.5×8.61

    1000= $4.735~$4.74

    ● Cost for the month=$4.74×4= $19


    ● Percentage of monthly bill
    $19
    5000 × 100 = 0.38%~0.4%

    Money saved while ironing once per week


    $75.60−$19 = $56.60
    Amount per year would approximate to:
    $56.60× 12 = $679.

    Figure 5: this bar graph shows the great amount of money that can be saved if the once per week
    method is used.

    10
    Analysis of Data
    With evidence from figure 1 the effect of ironing on the monthly bill shows that ironing

    takes up 1.9% approximately 2% of the monthly bill. As shown in figure 2 the comparison

    between ironing everyday versus once per week there is a great difference in the amount of

    money that is spent ironing everyday versus once per week. In figure 3 percentage of ironing

    once a week for a month shows us that when we practice to iron once a week it helps us to save

    money compared to when we iron every day a week. In figure 4 impact of ironing everyday a

    month on the electricity bill the diagram shows that ironing everyday a month takes up a

    percentage of 1% of the monthly bill. In figure 5 money that can save if the once per week

    method is used shows that $679.20 almost $700 can be saved if the once per week method is

    practise.

    Discussion of Findings
    Many times we tend not to consider the amount of money that goes towards ironing. With

    evidence from figure 1 it clearly shows the effect of ironing on the monthly bill. It shows that

    ironing is approximately 1.9% of the monthly bill. This will help viewers to have a better

    understanding that everything second spent ironing increase the monthly bill. Simple bad habits

    such as ironing every day for a week can cause a great stress on the pocket. Figure 2 it shows

    that approximately $56.00 was saved it also helps individuals to understand that it is much better

    to iron once per week versus every day because it saves money for future use. When ironing

    once a week a month it saves you a percentage of 104.6 than when you iron every day a week for

    a month this findings helps individuals to practice good ironing Figure 4 shows us the

    percentage of money (that is consumed from your pocket when you iron every day a week for a

    month, it shows that there can be great pressure for individual's pocket with this practice If

    individual practise good ironing habit it is shown in figure 3, a good amount of money can be

    saved and over a period of time this good habit will leave enough money to invest in more

    adventurous things in life.

    Conclusion

    In concluding, there is a great difference in ironing once per week rather than every day as it was
    proven to me that ironing everyday consumes more energy than ironing once per week. Practise

    good ironing habits, it will leave money for future adventures.
