How to calculate the total cost per punnet?

The total cost for purchasing multiple punnets can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = P \times W \times Q §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost
  • § P § — price per kilogram
  • § W § — weight of each punnet (in kilograms)
  • § Q § — number of punnets

This formula allows you to find out how much you will spend in total when buying a specific number of punnets, each with a defined weight and price per kilogram.

Example:

  • Price per Kilogram (§ P §): $10
  • Weight of Punnet (§ W §): 0.5 kg
  • Number of Punnets (§ Q §): 10

Total Cost:

§§ C = 10 \times 0.5 \times 10 = 50 §$
