Water Price Calculator
Explanation
How to calculate the cost of water for a specific volume?
The cost of water can be calculated using a straightforward formula:
The cost for a given volume (V) in liters is:
§§ C = \frac{P}{1000} \times V §§
where:
- § C § — total cost of water
- § P § — price per cubic meter (in your currency)
- § V § — volume in liters
This formula allows you to find out how much you will pay for a specific volume of water based on the price per cubic meter.
Example:
Price per Cubic Meter (§ P §): $3
Volume in Liters (§ V §): 1000
Total Cost:
§§ C = \frac{3}{1000} \times 1000 = 3 \text{ USD} §§
