How to calculate the cost of a post-workout drink?

The total cost of your post-workout drink can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = \left( \frac{P}{A} \right) \times S §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost of the drink
  • § P § — cost of the ingredient (in your chosen currency)
  • § A § — amount of the ingredient (in grams)
  • § S § — number of servings

This formula allows you to determine how much you will spend on your post-workout drink based on the cost of the ingredients and the desired servings.

Example:

  • Ingredient Cost (§ P §): $5
  • Ingredient Amount (§ A §): 100 grams
  • Number of Servings (§ S §): 2

Total Cost:

§§ C = \left( \frac{5}{100} \right) \times 2 = 0.1 \times 2 = 0.2 \text{ (or $0.20)} §§
