Question

Toni filled the container shown here with maple syrup, which costs $0.04 per cubic centimeter. How much would the total maple syrup in one container cost?

Do you need to find the surface area or volume of the container in order to solve this problem?



Volume

Surface area

Great job!

Now find the volume of the container. Solve on paper, then record your answer on Zearn. You can use the calculator to help you solve.



The volume of the bottle is 

 

cm3.

Answer 1

To determine the cost of the maple syrup in the container, you need to first calculate the volume of the container, since the cost is based on the volume of syrup.

1. **Volume Calculation**: Depending on the shape of the container (cylindrical, rectangular prism, etc.), you'll use the appropriate formula to find the volume. For example:
- For a cylinder: \( V = \pi r^2 h \)
- For a rectangular prism: \( V = l \times w \times h \)
Make sure you have the dimensions (radius, height, length, width) to apply the formula.

2. **Cost Calculation**: Once you have the volume in cubic centimeters (cm³), you can calculate the total cost using the given price of $0.04 per cubic centimeter:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Price per cm}^3
\]

Please calculate the volume based on the container dimensions and then multiply by $0.04 to find the total cost.

If you provide the dimensions of the container, I can assist you further in calculating the volume.
