How to Calculate the Cost of One Vanilla Bean Pod?

To find out the total cost of vanilla bean pods, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = \left( \frac{P}{100} \right) \times W \times N §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost of the vanilla bean pods
  • § P § — price per 100 grams
  • § W § — weight of one pod in grams
  • § N § — number of pods

This formula allows you to calculate how much you will spend based on the price of vanilla beans and the quantity you need.

Example:

  • Price per 100 grams (§ P §): $20
  • Weight per pod (§ W §): 5 grams
  • Number of pods (§ N §): 10

Total Cost:

§§ C = \left( \frac{20}{100} \right) \times 5 \times 10 = 10 \text{ dollars} §§
