### Question:
A silo is in the shape of a cone. The silo is 12 meters tall, and its base has a diameter of 4 meters. Oats cost $98 per cubic meter. How much will it cost to fill the silo with oats?

Use 3.14 for π, and do not round your answer.

#### Answer:
There is an input box for the answer, with buttons for basic mathematical operations such as multiplication (x), exponentiation (ʘ), and a symbol for a hint or help (?).

---

Note: To solve this, you would need to calculate the volume of the cone using the formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
where \( r \) (radius) is half of the diameter, \( h \) (height) is 12 meters, and \( \pi \) is 3.14. Then, multiply the volume by the cost per cubic meter to find the total cost.
