How to calculate the cost of one bottle of Agar-Agar?

To determine the total cost of purchasing agar-agar bottles, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = P \times W \times N §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost
  • § P § — price per kilogram of agar-agar
  • § W § — weight of one bottle in kilograms
  • § N § — number of bottles

This formula allows you to calculate how much you will spend based on the price of agar-agar, the weight of each bottle, and how many bottles you want to buy.

Example:

  • Price per kg of Agar-Agar (§ P §): $20
  • Weight of one bottle (§ W §): 500 grams (which is 0.5 kg)
  • Number of bottles (§ N §): 10

Total Cost:

§§ C = 20 \times 0.5 \times 10 = 100 §$
