Answer:

Since a 1W appliance will use 1 joule of energy every second, a 1500W appliance will use 1500 joules of energy every second. Hence, it will use 90000 joules of energy per minute, 540000 joules per 6 minutes (per day), and 1620000 joules of energy across all 3 days.

TL;DR 1620000 joules of energy would be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped!
