How to calculate the total cost of coffee in a can?

The total cost of coffee in a can can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (TC) is given by:

§§ TC = \left(\frac{A}{1000} \times P\right) + C §§

where:

  • § TC § — total cost of the coffee can
  • § A § — amount of coffee in the can (in grams)
  • § P § — price per kilogram of coffee (in your chosen currency)
  • § C § — cost of packaging (in your chosen currency)

This formula allows you to calculate the total cost by considering both the cost of the coffee itself and the packaging.

Example:

  • Amount of Coffee (§ A §): 250 grams
  • Price per kg of Coffee (§ P §): $20
  • Cost of Packaging (§ C §): $2

Total Cost:

§§ TC = \left(\frac{250}{1000} \times 20\right) + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7 \text{ dollars} §§
