Quite basic calculation, but my client insist on telling I am calculating wrong while I am quite sure that my calculation is correct.
Given the following variables:
- weight in kg per packing unit
- packing unit
- price in EUR per 100
What I need is the price per ton.
Given the following values:
- kg per PU: 0,45
- PU: 500
- € per 100: 0,98
I used the following calculation:
$$ \begin{align} & 0,98 € \times {1000 kg \over {0,45 kg \over {500 pcs \over 100pcs }}} \\ = \; & 0,98 € \times {1000kg \over {0,45kg \over 5}} \\ = \; & 0,98 € \times {1000 kg \over 0,09 kg} \\ = \; & 0,98 € \times 11.111,\overline1 kg \\ = \; & 10888,\overline8 € \end{align}$$
Would anyone please be so kind to check if that is correct?
