"Power" = 100/96 = 50/48 = 25/24"Watts"

Explanation:

"Power" = "Voltage"*"Current"
"Power" is measured in Watts
"Voltage" is measured in Volts
"Current" is measured in Amperes.

We want the "Power", we have the "Voltage" and the "Resistance", but we do not have the "Current". So, we can find the "Current" or just replace it through the "Resistance" formula:

"Resistance" = "Voltage"/"Current"
96Omega = (10V)/"Current" => "Current" = (10V)/(96Omega)

Now, apply in the "Power" formula:
"Power" = 10 * 10/96
"Power" = 100/96 = 50/48 = 25/24"Watts"
