How to calculate the total cost of maple syrup?

To find out how much you will spend on maple syrup, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost (T) is calculated as:

§§ T = P \times V \times N §§

where:

  • § T § — total cost
  • § P § — price per liter of maple syrup
  • § V § — volume of the bottle in liters
  • § N § — number of bottles

This formula allows you to calculate the total amount you will pay for the maple syrup based on the price per liter, the size of the bottle, and how many bottles you want to purchase.

Example:

  • Price per Liter (§ P §): $10
  • Bottle Volume (§ V §): 0.5 liters
  • Number of Bottles (§ N §): 3

Total Cost:

§§ T = 10 \times 0.5 \times 3 = 15 \text{ dollars} §§
