Frozen Dumplings Price Calculator
Explanation
How to calculate the total cost of frozen dumplings?
This calculator allows you to compute the total cost of a pack of frozen dumplings based on the price per pack, the number of dumplings in a pack, the cost per serving, and the number of servings you plan to prepare.
The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:
Total Cost (TC):
§§ TC = P + (C_s \times N_s) §§
where:
- § TC § — total cost
- § P § — price per pack
- § C_s § — cost per serving
- § N_s § — number of servings
Cost per Dumpling (CD):
§§ CD = \frac{TC}{D \times N_s} §§
where:
- § CD § — cost per dumpling
- § D § — number of dumplings per pack
Example:
Input Values:
- Price per Pack (§ P §): $10
- Dumplings per Pack (§ D §): 20
- Cost per Serving (§ C_s §): $2
- Number of Servings (§ N_s §): 3
Calculating Total Cost:
- Total Cost (§ TC §): §§ TC = 10 + (2 \times 3) = 10 + 6 = 16 $$
Calculating Cost per Dumpling:
- Cost per Dumpling (§ CD §): §§ CD = \frac{16}{20 \times 3} = \frac{16}{60} \approx 0.27 $$
