How to calculate the total cost of flour bags?

The total cost can be calculated using a straightforward formula:

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = P \times W \times N §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost
  • § P § — price per kilogram of flour
  • § W § — weight of each bag in kilograms
  • § N § — number of bags

This formula allows you to find out how much you will spend on flour based on the price per kilogram, the weight of each bag, and how many bags you intend to purchase.

Example:

  • Price per kg (§ P §): $2
  • Weight of bag (§ W §): 5 kg
  • Number of bags (§ N §): 3

Total Cost:

§§ C = 2 \times 5 \times 3 = 30 §$
