How to calculate the total cost of ground beef?

To find the total cost of ground beef, 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 pound
  • § W § — weight of the package in pounds
  • § N § — number of packages

This formula allows you to calculate how much you will spend on ground beef based on the price per pound, the weight of each package, and how many packages you want to buy.

Example:

  • Price per Pound (§ P §): $5
  • Weight of Package (§ W §): 2 pounds
  • Number of Packages (§ N §): 3

Total Cost:

§§ C = 5 \times 2 \times 3 = 30 §$
