How to calculate the total price of a melon?

The total price of a melon can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Price (TP) is calculated as:

§§ TP = W \times P \times (1 - \frac{D}{100}) §§

where:

  • § TP § — total price
  • § W § — weight of the melon (in kg)
  • § P § — price per kilogram
  • § D § — discount or markup percentage (negative for discount, positive for markup)

This formula allows you to find out how much you will pay for a melon after considering its weight, the price per kilogram, and any discounts or markups.

Example:

  • Weight of Melon (§ W §): 5 kg
  • Price per kg (§ P §): $2
  • Discount (§ D §): 10%

Total Price:

§§ TP = 5 \times 2 \times (1 - \frac{10}{100}) = 5 \times 2 \times 0.9 = 9 \text{ USD} §§
