The house with 30000 cubic foot costs less to cool per cubic foot than the house with 25000 cubic foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of cooling 30000 cubic foot house = $7

Cost per cubic foot = 7/30000

=$0.00023

The cost of cooling 25000 cubic foot house = $6.50

Cost per cubic foot=6.50/25000

= $0.00026

The house with 30000 cubic foot costs less to cool per cubic foot than the house with 25000 cubic foot.
