Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is $11.55 for the week.

1) Since 1 watt is 0.001 kilowatts, 1500 watts is 1.5 kilowatts.

2) Multiply that by 7 for the week and that equals 10.5.

3) It takes her 10 minutes each day, so it takes 70 minutes per week, that is also 1.1 hours.

4) Multiply 10.5 kilowatts by 1.1 hours and you get 11.55.

5) The answer is $11.55 per week to dry Lisa's hair.
