Explanation
How to Calculate the Cost of One Bottle of Peanut Oil?
To find the total cost of a bottle of peanut oil, you can use the following formula:
Total Cost (C) is calculated as:
§§ C = P \times V §§
where:
- § C § — total cost of the bottle
- § P § — price per liter of peanut oil
- § V § — volume of the bottle in liters
This formula allows you to determine how much you will spend on a specific volume of peanut oil based on its price per liter.
Example:
Price per Liter (§ P §): $10
Bottle Volume (§ V §): 1.5 liters
Total Cost:
§§ C = 10 \times 1.5 = 15 \text{ dollars} §§
