How to calculate the total cost of popcorn bags?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (T) is given by:

§§ T = (P \times W + C) \times N §§

where:

  • § T § — total cost
  • § P § — price per kilogram
  • § W § — weight of one bag in kilograms
  • § C § — cost per bag (if applicable)
  • § N § — number of bags

This formula allows you to calculate how much you will spend on popcorn based on the price per kilogram, the weight of each bag, any additional costs, and the number of bags you wish to purchase.

Example:

  • Price per kg (§ P §): $5
  • Weight per bag (§ W §): 500 grams (0.5 kg)
  • Cost per bag (§ C §): $2
  • Number of bags (§ N §): 3

Total Cost:

§§ T = (5 \times 0.5 + 2) \times 3 = (2.5 + 2) \times 3 = 4.5 \times 3 = 13.5 §$
