How to calculate the total cost of dried herbs per pack?

To determine the total cost of dried herbs, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = P \times W \times N §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost
  • § P § — price per unit weight (e.g., per gram or ounce)
  • § W § — weight of the package (in grams or ounces)
  • § N § — number of packs

This formula allows you to calculate how much you will spend on dried herbs based on the price per unit weight, the weight of each package, and how many packages you are purchasing.

Example:

  • Price per Unit Weight (§ P §): $5
  • Weight of Package (§ W §): 100 grams
  • Number of Packs (§ N §): 2

Total Cost:

§§ C = 5 \times 100 \times 2 = 1000 \text{ (currency)} §§
