1200 x 10 = 12,000 watt-minutes per day
12,000 watt-minutes/ 60 minutes per hour = 200 watt hours per day
200 watt hours / 1000 kw/watt = 0.2 kWh per day
0.2 x 30 = 6 kWh per month
6 x 0.15 = $0.90

10 minutes = 1/6 hour
1200 watts X (1/6 hour) = 200 watt hours a day = 0.2 kilowatt hours a day
0.2 kwh/day X 30 days/month X $0.15/kwh = $ 0.90 / month
