Shallot Price Calculator
Explanation
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} §§
