Yes I did it, I found it ok. Is there a proper thread on the go yet?
What did you get for the £30 pounds on the meter? 200 hours?

I did.... £30x1000 = 3000p, then 3000/15= 200. And it was in months! So I put 200 months. If I'm thinking of the right question.

yes the first part is 30/ 15p but that gives you KWh, not hours...
go get the number of hours, you had to divide KWh by KW, 200/8 = 25 hours
you'll get one mark though, sooo many people put 200, cos they forgot to divide by 8, luckily for me, this same question came up on a past paper, but obvs with different numbers, so i knew how to do it
