How to calculate the total cost of shrimp?

To determine the total cost of shrimp, 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 kilogram of shrimp
  • § W § — weight of each pack in kilograms
  • § N § — number of packs

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

Example:

  • Price per kg (§ P §): $20
  • Weight per pack (§ W §): 1 kg
  • Number of packs (§ N §): 5

Total Cost:

§§ C = 20 \times 1 \times 5 = 100 \text{ USD} §§
