Sea Salt Cost Calculator
Explanation
How to calculate the cost of one bag of sea salt?
To find the total cost of a bag of sea salt, you can use the following formula:
Total Cost (C) is calculated as:
§§ C = P \times W §§
where:
- § C § — total cost of the bag
- § P § — price per kilogram
- § W § — weight of the bag in kilograms
This formula allows you to determine how much you will spend on a specific weight of sea salt based on its price per kilogram.
Example:
Price per kg (§ P §): $5
Weight of the bag (§ W §): 2 kg
Total Cost:
§§ C = 5 \times 2 = 10 \text{ USD} §§
