How to calculate the total cost for one bag of trail mix?

To find out how much one bag of trail mix costs, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = \text{Price per kg} \times \left( \frac{\text{Weight per bag (grams)}}{1000} \right) \times \text{Number of bags} §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost
  • § \text{Price per kg} § — price of trail mix per kilogram
  • § \text{Weight per bag (grams)} § — weight of one bag in grams
  • § \text{Number of bags} § — total number of bags you want to purchase

Example:

  1. Price per kg: $20
  2. Weight per bag: 500 grams
  3. Number of bags: 3

Total Cost Calculation:

§§ C = 20 \times \left( \frac{500}{1000} \right) \times 3 = 30 \text{ USD} §§
