I like ice cream. I want the best deal when I get ice cream! Howard's Dairy Shack has a sale on. For only $2.50, I can get a cone that has a 4-inch diameter and is 3 inches tall, or a cup that only has a 2.5 inch diameter, but is 2.5 inches tall. Please explain which I should purchase to get the most ice cream possible! You will need to compare the volume of the cone with the volume of the cup (which is a cylinder). Please round all final volumes to the nearest hundredth.

OK so the cone's volume is 12.57 however, the cup's volume is only 12.27. So, if they're both $2.50 then i would get the cone because it has more volume.
