Answer:
$1.50
Explanation:
Given data
power P= 2 kW
time t= 15 min to hours = 15/60= 1/4 h
cost of power consumption per kWh= 10 cent = $0.1
We are expected to compute the cost of operating the heater for 30 days
but let us computer the energy consumption for one day
Energy of heater for one day= 2* 1/4 = 0.5 kWh
the cost of operating the heater for 30 days= 0.5*0.1*30= $1.50
Hence it will cost $1.50 for 30 days operation
