Answer : $1.2 per cubic foot

Explanation :
1. Do your radius to the power of two and multiply by pi (3.14)
2. That would be 4.5216 you then multiply that by 4(your height) and get about 18
3.You divide 22(cost of oil) by 18(drum of oil) and get about $1.2 per cubic foot

Hope this helps

3.14 • 1.2^2•4
= 18.0864 ft^3

18.0864 • 22
= $397.9
