How to calculate the total cost of cooking oil?

To find the total cost of cooking oil, 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
  • § V § — volume of each pack (in liters)
  • § N § — number of packs

This formula allows you to calculate how much you will spend on cooking oil based on the price per liter, the size of each pack, and how many packs you want to buy.

Example:

  • Price per Liter (§ P §): $10
  • Volume of Pack (§ V §): 1 liter
  • Number of Packs (§ N §): 5

Total Cost:

§§ C = 10 \times 1 \times 5 = 50 §$
