The Movie Haven is planning to order new medium-size popcorn containers. It has a choice of four different containers. It costs the company $0.02 per cubic inch of popcorn to fill a container.

cost to fill a container = (price per cubic inch)(volume in cubic inches)

you are given the total cost ($3.00) and the price per cubic inch ($0.02). simply solve for the volume

next step will be to find the container that has that same volume. we would need to know what the containers look like and what their dimensions are, which is missing from the problem you posted.
