How to calculate the total cost of one carton of 2% milk?

To find the total cost of purchasing multiple cartons of milk, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = P \times V \times N §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost
  • § P § — price per liter of milk
  • § V § — volume of one carton in liters
  • § N § — number of cartons

This formula allows you to calculate how much you will spend on milk based on the price per liter, the volume of each carton, and the number of cartons you wish to buy.

Example:

  • Price per Liter (§ P §): $1.50
  • Volume per Carton (§ V §): 1 liter
  • Number of Cartons (§ N §): 10

Total Cost:

§§ C = 1.50 \times 1 \times 10 = 15.00 §$
