Price per Weight or Mass

The Price per Weight or Mass calculator computes the price to buy or sell a certain weight (A) of a product at a unit price (UP) per unit weight (UW).

INSTRUCTIONS:  Choose units (e.g. pounds or kilograms, dollars or Euros) and enter the following:

• (A) Weight of Product - weight to be bought or sold (e.g., to buy 15 pounds of cheese)
• (UP) Unit Price - cost associated with the Unit Weight (e.g., $49.95 for 3 pounds)
• (UW) Unit Weight - weight associated with the Unit Price (e.g. 3 pounds that is priced at $49.95)

Price per Weight or Mass (TP): The calculator returns price to associated to buy or sell A at UP per B.  The price will be returned in United States Dollars (USD).  However, this can be automatically converted into numerous other currencies (see list below) via the pull-down menu next to the answer. The calculator also returns the number of units (nU) needed to achieve the weight/mass requirement (Weight of Product).

The Math / Science

If you know how much a certain weight or mass is valued, you can use that information to compute the value of a different amount of product.  For simple example, a 3 pounds (B) of ground beef may cost $6.30 (UP).  In that case, how much would 15 pounds (A) cost?

   `TP = A * "UP"/"UW"`

where:

• TP = Total Price
• A = Amount of product desired
• UP = Unit Price for the Unit Weight
• UW = Unit Weight that cost the Unit Price

Note: Mass and weight are technically different.   Mass is the amount of matter and weight is the force of that mass affected by gravity.  HOWEVER, since we humans almost always live on the surface of the Earth, there is an easy conversion between weight and mass, and we can therefore make easy and fairly accurate conversions between a mass (e.g. kilograms) and a weight (e.g. pounds).

Production Calculator

The Production Calculator computes the cost in time or capital to buy, produce or consume commodities measured by number of units or by length, area, volume or weight.  It provides automatic conversions between different units for time, length, area, volume, mass and up to date currency conversions between several international currencies.

PRICE or Production Time by UNITS

• Time for Units: Computes time to process a number of units.
• Units over Time: Computes number of units processed over a period of time.
• Total Cost of Units: Computes total cost based on the number of units and the cost of a single unit.
• Unit Cost:  Computes the Average Unit Cost.

PRICE or Production Time by LENGTH

• Price per Length or Distance: Computes total cost for items measured by length or distance.
• Length over Time: Computes total length processed or traveled over time. 
• Time for Length: Computes time required to process or travel length or distance based on a rate.

PRICE or Production Time by AREA

• Price per Area: Computes total cost for items measured by area.  
• Area over Time: Computes the total area processed or traveled over time.  
• Time for Area: Computes time required to process an area based at a rate.

PRICE or Production Time by VOLUME

• Price per Volume: Computes total cost for items measured by volume.  
• Volume over Time: Computes total volume processed over time based a rate.  
• Time for Volume: Computes time required to process a volume based at a rate.

PRICE or Production Time by WEIGHT or MASS

• Price per Weight or Mass: Computes total cost for items measured by weight or mass.
• Weight or Mass over Time: Computes total weight or mass processed over time based on a rate. 
• Time for Weight or Mass: Computes time required to process a weight or mass based at a rate.

Amdahl's Law: Computes the speedup factor for a total task based on the speedup factor of a portion of the task and the percent of that portion in relation to the total task.

Purchasing and Price Comparison Calculators

• Price for Length: Enter a length and cost per unit length to see a total cost (e.g., 650 yards at $7.48 per foot is $14,586) .
• Price per Area: Enter an area and cost per unit area to see total cost (e.g., 470 square feet at $3.23/ft²) to see a total cost.
• Price per Volume Enter a length and cost per unit length to see a total cost.
• Price per Weight or Mass:  Enter a weight and cost per unit weight (e.g., 55 pounds at $2.45 per 6 ounces) to see the total cost.
• Price per Ton: Enter the product weight and the price per ton to see the total cost.
• Price per Unit: Enter the total number of units of a products, the unit price per unit number of units (e.g., 500 units at $47 per 20 units).
• Price Compare Two Items by Length :  Enter the length or distance and price of two items, and the calculator tells you which is the better buy and by how much.
• Price compare Three items by Length:  Enter the length or distance of tree items, and the calculator tells you which is the best buy and by how much.
• Price compare Two Items by Area: Enter the area and price of two items, and the calculator tells you which is the better buy and by how much.
• Price compare Three items by Area : Enter the area of tree items, and the calculator tells you which is the best buy and by how much.
• Price Compare Two Items by Volume:  Enter the Volume and price of two items, and the calculator tells you which is the better buy and by how much. 
• Price Compare Three items by Volume:  Enter the Volume and price of three items, and the calculator tells you which is the better buy and by how much. 
• Price Compare Two Items by Weight or Mass:  Enter the weight (mass) and price of two items, and the calculator tells you which is the better buy and by how much. 
• Price Compare Three Items by Weight or Mass: Enter the weight (mass) and price of three items, and the calculator tells you which is the better buy and by how much.
• Money per Length Conversion: e.g., enter dollars per foot and see Euros per meter among many other possibilities. 
• Money per Area Conversion: e.g., enter dollars per square inch and see Euros per square centimeter among many other possibilities. 
• Money per Volume Conversion: e.g., enter dollars per gallon and see Euros per liter among many other possibilities. 
• Money per Mass or Weight Conversion: e.g., enter dollars per pound and see Euros per kilogram among many other possibilities.
