How to calculate the price of one shallot?

The price of one shallot can be calculated using a straightforward formula:

Total Price for One Shallot:

§§ \text{Total Price} = \text{Price per kg} \times \text{Weight of one shallot} §§

where:

  • § \text{Total Price} § — the total cost for one shallot
  • § \text{Price per kg} § — the cost of shallots per kilogram
  • § \text{Weight of one shallot} § — the weight of a single shallot in kilograms

This formula allows you to find out how much you will pay for a single shallot based on its weight and the price per kilogram.

Example:

If the price per kilogram (§ \text{Price per kg} §) is $10 and the weight of one shallot (§ \text{Weight of one shallot} §) is 0.1 kg, the total price for one shallot would be:

§§ \text{Total Price} = 10 \times 0.1 = 1.00 \text{ USD} §§
