Explanation

How to calculate the total price of parsley?

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

Total Price (TP) is calculated as:

§§ TP = \left( \frac{Q}{100} \right) \times P \times \left(1 - \frac{D}{100}\right) §§

where:

  • § TP § — total price
  • § Q § — quantity of parsley (in grams)
  • § P § — price per unit weight (price per 100 grams or 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 specific quantity of parsley after applying any discounts or markups.

Example:

  • Quantity (§ Q §): 200 grams
  • Price per unit weight (§ P §): $3 per 100 grams
  • Discount (§ D §): 10%

Total Price:

§§ TP = \left( \frac{200}{100} \right) \times 3 \times \left(1 - \frac{10}{100}\right) = 6 \times 0.9 = 5.4 \text{ USD} §§
