In an area in which electricity costs 8 cents/kilowatt-hour, a 5 kW clothes dryer runs for 90 minutes to dry a load of laundry. How much did it cost to dry these clothes?

A) $0.20

B) $0.30

C) $0.45

D) $0.60

 

In the meantime, I'll continue my attemps at solving this "probably really easy but I'm too dumb to figure it out" problem.

90 minutes = 1.5 hrs

 

So....

 

5kW  x  1.5 hrs x  8 cents per kW hr  =  5 (1.5)(8)  =  40 * 1.5   =  60 cents
