To give you the exact number of cones and your total earnings, we need one missing piece of information: **how much milk goes into a single cone** (or how many cones your specific machine can make from 1 litre). However, we can look at a few standard commercial scenarios to see how the math plays out. Standard soft-serve cones typically use about **80 mL to 100 mL** of liquid mix per serving. Here is how the breakdown looks based on those common sizes: ### Scenario A: 100 mL per cone (Generous portion) If each cone uses 100 mL of mix, 4 litres (4,000\text{ mL}) will yield exactly **40 cones**. * **Total Revenue:** 40 \text{ cones} \times \$2.00 = \$80.00 * **Cost of Milk:** \$6.00 * **Gross Profit:** \$80.00 - \$6.00 = \mathbf{\$74.00} ### Scenario B: 80 mL per cone (Standard commercial size) If each cone uses 80 mL of mix, 4 litres (4,000\text{ mL}) will yield exactly **50 cones**. * **Total Revenue:** 50 \text{ cones} \times \$2.00 = \$100.00 * **Cost of Milk:** \$6.00 * **Gross Profit:** \$100.00 - \$6.00 = \mathbf{\$94.00} ### How to calculate your exact numbers: Once you check your machine's manual or run a quick test to see your exact yield, you can plug your numbers into these formulas: 1. 2. 3. *Note: This math assumes you are using pure milk or a 1:1 liquid mix substitute. If your machine injects significant air (overrun) into the product, your cone yield per litre could be even higher!* Do you happen to know the target volume per cone or the yield capacity listed for your machine?

 To give you the exact number of cones and your total earnings, we need one missing piece of information: **how much milk goes into a single cone** (or how many cones your specific machine can make from 1 litre).

However, we can look at a few standard commercial scenarios to see how the math plays out.

Standard soft-serve cones typically use about **80 mL to 100 mL** of liquid mix per serving. Here is how the breakdown looks based on those common sizes:

### Scenario A: 100 mL per cone (Generous portion)

If each cone uses 100 mL of mix, 4 litres (4,000\text{ mL}) will yield exactly **40 cones**.

 * **Total Revenue:** 40 \text{ cones} \times \$2.00 = \$80.00

 * **Cost of Milk:** \$6.00

 * **Gross Profit:** \$80.00 - \$6.00 = \mathbf{\$74.00}

### Scenario B: 80 mL per cone (Standard commercial size)

If each cone uses 80 mL of mix, 4 litres (4,000\text{ mL}) will yield exactly **50 cones**.

 * **Total Revenue:** 50 \text{ cones} \times \$2.00 = \$100.00

 * **Cost of Milk:** \$6.00

 * **Gross Profit:** \$100.00 - \$6.00 = \mathbf{\$94.00}

### How to calculate your exact numbers:

Once you check your machine's manual or run a quick test to see your exact yield, you can plug your numbers into these formulas:

 1.  2.  3. *Note: This math assumes you are using pure milk or a 1:1 liquid mix substitute. If your machine injects significant air (overrun) into the product, your cone yield per litre could be even higher!*
