The attachment is too small for me to see the full problem.

Look at the units on the columns [we can't read them] - is one of them "electrical units/kg"? Once you have kg, you have to multiply by (electrical units/kg). When you multiply, then "kg" cancels in numerator and denominator, leaving "units of electricity."

If you either provide a larger picture, or tell us the headings of the columns, we would have a better idea what to do.
