Length: 3 inches
Width: 2 inches
Paper Type: Standard (Cost: $0.05 per square inch)

Using the calculator, you would enter these values and click "Calculate". The calculator would then perform the following calculations:

Total Area = 3 × 2 × 50 = 300 square inches Total Cost = 300 × 0.05 = $15.00

The calculator would display the results, showing that you would need a total of 300 square inches of paper and that the estimated cost would be $15.00.
