Incomplete question: we assume figures to explain further

Answer and explanation:

Given that client pays $0.15/kwh

If old fridge is inefficient and consumes 120kwh/month

And new fridge is efficient and therefore consumes 50kwh/month

For the old fridge, client will be paying

120×0.15= $18 per month on electricity charges

For the new fridge, client will be paying

50×0.15= $7.5 per month on electricity charges
