Ask your parents to look on their electric bill and find what the cost of a unit of electricity is.  Multiply that number by the hours you used.  How much did it cost for you to use the above items for two days?  (use the Energy Calculator on the Energy Adventure Web page to find out how much one light bulb is costing your family!)
