Given:
Power = 60 Watt
Everyday use = 5 hours
Total Days = 30
Cost Of electricity per unit = Rs. 3
Total amount to be paid in 30 days.
The days can be calculated in total hours used in 30 days
Hence, Total hours = Days x Everyday Use=30×5=150 hours
Convert, 60 Watt into Kilowatt=601000kW
By Formula,

Energy consumed = Power(kW) x Time(hr)
U=601000×150
U = 9 kWh
Hence, the total unit used is 9.
By Formula,

Cost = Unit x Rs./Unit

Cost = 9 x 3
Cost = Rs. 27
Therefore, the amount to pay in 30 days is Rs. 27.
