Question

Write a Python program that calculates the following:

A milk carton can hold 3.78 liters of milk. Each morning, a dairy farm ships cartons of milk to a local grocery store. The cost of producing one liter of milk is $0.38, and the profit of each carton of milk is $0.27. Write a program that does the following:

Prompts the user to enter the total amount of milk (in liters) produced in the morning.
Outputs the number of milk cartons needed to hold the milk (round your answer to the nearest integer).
Outputs the cost of producing the milk.
Outputs the profit for producing the milk.

Answer 1

The provided Python program prompts the user for the total amount of milk produced in liters and then calculates and outputs the number of milk cartons needed, the cost of producing the milk, and the profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Python Program for Dairy Farm Calculations

To calculate the number of cartons, cost of production, and profit for the milk produced on a dairy farm, you can use the following Python program:

# Constants defining the cost of production per liter and profit per carton
COST_PER_LITER = 0.38
PROFIT_PER_CARTON = 0.27
CARTON_VOLUME = 3.78
# Prompt the user to enter the total amount of milk produced
milk_produced_liter = float(input('Enter the total amount of milk produced in liters: '))
# Calculate the required data
number_of_cartons = round(milk_produced_liter / CARTON_VOLUME)
cost_of_production = milk_produced_liter * COST_PER_LITER
profit = number_of_cartons * PROFIT_PER_CARTON
# Output the results
print('Number of milk cartons needed:', number_of_cartons)
print('Cost of producing the milk: $', cost_of_production)
print('Profit for producing the milk: $', profit)
Remember to run this program in a Python environment. It prompts for milk produced, and gives the number of milk cartons needed, the cost of producing the milk and the profit for producing the milk.
