Plant-Based Milk Carton Cost Calculator
Explanation
How to calculate the total cost of plant-based milk cartons?
To find out how much you will spend on plant-based milk, 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
- § V § — volume of the carton in liters
- § N § — number of cartons
This formula allows you to calculate the total expenditure based on the price of the milk, the size of the carton, and how many cartons you want to purchase.
Example:
- Price per Liter (§ P §): $2.5
- Volume of Carton (§ V §): 1 liter
- Number of Cartons (§ N §): 3
Total Cost:
§§ T = 2.5 \times 1 \times 3 = 7.5 \text{ USD} §§
