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