Answer 1

To solve this, plug e = 14 into the given formula:

0.03(5e^2)

Now, replace e with 14:

0.03(5 * 14^2)

First, calculate the square of 14:

14^2 = 196

Now, multiply by 5:

5 * 196 = 980

Then, multiple by 0.03 to get the total cost:

0.03 * 980 = $29.40

Therefore, the correct answer is:

$29.40
