How to calculate the cost of a block of cheese?

The total cost of a block of cheese can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = \left( \frac{W}{1000} \right) \times P §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost of the cheese block
  • § W § — weight of the cheese block in grams
  • § P § — price per unit weight (price per kilogram)

This formula allows you to find out how much you will spend on a block of cheese based on its weight and the price per kilogram.

Example:

Weight of Cheese Block (§ W §): 1000 grams (1 kg)

Price per Unit Weight (§ P §): €10

Total Cost:

§§ C = \left( \frac{1000}{1000} \right) \times 10 = 10 € §§
