How to calculate the cost of one pack of salmon?

To find the total cost of a pack of salmon, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = P \times W §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost of the salmon pack
  • § P § — price per kilogram of salmon
  • § W § — weight of the salmon pack in kilograms

This formula allows you to determine how much you will spend on a specific weight of salmon based on its price per kilogram.

Example:

Price per kg (§ P §): $20

Weight of the pack (§ W §): 1.5 kg

Total Cost:

§§ C = 20 \times 1.5 = 30 \text{ USD} §§
