Price Calculation Formula
The logic behind price computing is a straightforward multiplication of mass and rate:
The Formula
Total = Weight × Rate
- Weight: The mass of the item (usually in kg).
- Unit Price: The cost per 1 unit of weight (e.g., $ per kg).
- Example: 2.5 kg × $10/kg = $25.00
Converting Grams
Using decimals for precision.
- Since 1 kg = 1000 grams, use a decimal point for grams.
- 500 grams = 0.500 kg
- Calculation: 0.500 × $4.00 = $2.00
