How to calculate the cost per roll of aluminium foil?

The total cost of an aluminium foil roll can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = P \times L \times W §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost of the roll
  • § P § — price per meter of aluminium foil
  • § L § — length of the roll in meters
  • § W § — width of the roll in meters (convert from centimeters to meters)

This formula allows you to find out how much you will spend on a roll of aluminium foil based on its dimensions and price per meter.

Example:

  • Price per Meter (§ P §): $2.5
  • Roll Length (§ L §): 30 meters
  • Roll Width (§ W §): 30 centimeters (which is 0.3 meters)

Total Cost:

§§ C = 2.5 \times 30 \times 0.3 = 22.5 \text{ USD} §§
