The cost of lighting a 500-watt outdoor light for 8 hours is 30 cents.

1000 watts = 1 kilowatt

Therefore, 500 watt = 500/1000 = 0.5kw

Since electricity costs 7.5 cents per kilowatt-hour, then the cost for 8 hours will be:

= 0.5 × 8 × 7.5.

= 30cents

Therefore, the cost of lighting a 500-watt outdoor light for 8 hours is 30 cents.
