Answer 4

For the cylinder we have
54/1497.458987
for the cylinder here it would be 0.03606 dollars per cubic

for the cone
20/499.15299596317 which equals 0.0400678753 dollars per cubic

For the sphere
35/998.30599192633 which equals 0.0350594 dollars per cubic

Now the prices are close to each other

but the best deal would be spherical
