Makes 2 of us. It isn`t exactly difficult - its a basic maths question. Why not try answering yourself, first?

7.1 x 2.5 gives your hourly cost times by 7.5 hours to give day cost,times by 28 days =

Hi -

This whole question hinges on knowing that a unit is 1 kWh.

Once you've got this you can work it all out from basic maths - ie no of kWh = no of kW x no of hours. Total cost is no of kWh x cost per kWh.

This is a basic question - but others can be complicated by putting in non standard units - minutes Watts, Megawatts etc - so you will have to know how to convert to to the required units to get the sum right.

Hope this helps.
