Without caring the cost of
battery then battery C last the longest for average of 24 hrs. but if we
include the cost, then we should calculate the cost per hour.

A.    $ 0.5 / 12 hrs = $ 0.042 per hr

B.    $ 2 / 18 hrs = $ 0.11 per hr

C.    $3.50 / 24 hrs = $ 0.15 per hrs

So the cheapest is battery A
