Help and method

Convert depth from centimetres to metres by dividing by 100. Multiply length × width × depth × quantity for the base volume, then multiply by (1 + waste percentage / 100). One cubic metre equals 1,000 litres. All items use the same dimensions. Limits: length and width 0.000001–10,000 m; depth 0.000001–10,000 cm; quantity 1–1,000,000 whole numbers; extra allowance 0–100%. Result up to 1,000,000,000 m³. Nonzero inputs must be at least 0.000001.
