How to calculate the cost per pack of seitan?

The total cost of seitan can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = \text{Price per kg} \times \left( \frac{\text{Weight of the pack (g)}}{1000} \right) \times \text{Number of packs} §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost
  • § \text{Price per kg} § — price of seitan per kilogram
  • § \text{Weight of the pack (g)} § — weight of a single pack in grams
  • § \text{Number of packs} § — total number of packs purchased

This formula allows you to determine how much you will spend on seitan based on its price per kilogram, the weight of each pack, and how many packs you want to buy.

Example:

  • Price per kg: $10
  • Weight of the pack: 500 grams
  • Number of packs: 2

Total Cost:

§§ C = 10 \times \left( \frac{500}{1000} \right) \times 2 = 10 \times 0.5 \times 2 = 10 \text{ USD} §§
