How to calculate the cost per bag of split peas?

The cost per bag can be calculated using the following formula:

Cost per Bag:

§§ \text{Cost per Bag} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Weight}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Total Cost} § is the total price paid for all packs.
  • § \text{Total Weight} § is the total weight of all packs combined.

To find the total cost and total weight, you can use these formulas:

  1. Total Cost: §§ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Price per Pack} \times \text{Number of Packs} §§

  2. Total Weight: §§ \text{Total Weight} = \text{Weight per Pack} \times \text{Number of Packs} §§

Example:

  • Price per Pack (§ \text{Price per Pack} §): $10
  • Weight per Pack (§ \text{Weight per Pack} §): 1 kg
  • Number of Packs (§ \text{Number of Packs} §): 5

Calculating Total Cost: §§ \text{Total Cost} = 10 \times 5 = 50 \text{ USD} §§

Calculating Total Weight: §§ \text{Total Weight} = 1 \times 5 = 5 \text{ kg} §§

Calculating Cost per Bag: §§ \text{Cost per Bag} = \frac{50}{5} = 10 \text{ USD} §§
