Answer provided by our tutors
Cost for using Cloudy Sunrise for area of 350 ft^2: $28
Cost for using Light At Dawn for area of 350 ft^2: $24*0.75 = $20.25
(28 - 20.25)/28 = 0.2768 or 27.68%
The cost for using Cloudy Sunrise is more than %5 greater than the cost for Light At Dawn.
You should use Light At Dawn.
