Blanket Formula for revenue estimating

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to estimate revenue, I posted earlier today about a Hypothetical fruit shop so i'm going to continue with that.

Earlier someone helped me an amazing formula to read and return Values from a purchase ledger. This worked and was able to return my values, but now I cant figure out how to get it all to calculate the actual $ amount.

For my earlier example i used

Johnny bought 5x apples granny smith 3x oranges 3x strawberry

Lisa bought 1x pineapple Large fresh 2x blueberry packaged 1x grape bunch large

Kerry bought 9 x apple loose 1 x Banana bunch 5x kiwi

I now have a sheet where i can copy and paste my purchase ledger and it breaks it down

What i can't figure out is how to get it all to calculate without having to do loads and loads of tedious work. I need it to read Apples, then than the quantity and give me the result. So lets say an Apple is 0.50c then i want it to Find Apples, find the value and times by 3 to give me $1.50. Hopefully this makes sense as its quite long winded
