By using the information given above, the utility cost per year for electric dryer will be calculated as,

[tex]\rm Annual\ Cost\ Electric= Cost\ per \ Load\ x\ 365\\\\\rm Annual\ Cost\ Electric= \$0.45\ x\ 365\\\\\rm Annual\ Cost\ Electric= $164.25[/tex]

Similarly, the annual cost for a gas dryer will be,

[tex]\rm Annual\ Cost\ Gas= \$0.16\ x\ 365\\\\\rm Annual\ Cost\ Gas= \$58.4[/tex]

So, the savings will be calculated as,

[tex]\rm Savings = Annual\ Utility\ Cost\ Electric- Annual\ Utility\ Cost\ Gas\\\\\rm Savings= 164.25-58.4\\\\\rm Savings = \$105.85[/tex]

So, the savings of annual utility costs from consumption of gas appliances will be $105.85
