Estimate the total power that your household draws from DTE, in one month. Then, if possible, compare the total power (in kWh) to the actual power that you were billed, last month. To successfully "compare" the numbers, you should determine the percent difference between your estimated power and the actual power that your household payed for last month. You should show how you estimated your total power and your percent difference calculation. Note: DTE bills you in kWh. This stands...
