**Instructions for Calculating Volume:**

1. **Volume of a Cone Formula:** The volume \( V \) of a cone is given by the formula:
   \[
   V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h
   \]
   where:
   - \( \pi \) = 3.14
   - \( r \) = radius of the base of the cone = 3 cm
   - \( h \) = height of the cone = 14 cm

2. **Calculate the Volume of One Cup:**
    Substitute the values of \( r \), \( h \), and \( \pi \) into the formula:
    \[
    V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (3)^2 \times 14
    \]
  
3. **Total Volume for 125 Cups:**
    Multiply the volume of one cup by 125 to get the total volume.
