1. What is Per 100g Calculation?

The per 100g calculation is a standardized way to compare values (typically price or nutritional content) across products of different sizes. It allows for fair comparison regardless of package weight.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the per 100g formula:

\[ \text{Value per 100g} = \left( \frac{\text{Total}}{\text{Weight}} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

\( Total \) — Total value (usually in currency)
\( Weight \) — Total weight in grams

Explanation: The formula calculates how much value you get for every 100 grams of product, making it easier to compare different sized packages.

3. Importance of Per 100g Calculation

Details: This calculation is essential for price comparison shopping, nutritional comparison, and standardizing measurements in recipes or formulations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total value (e.g., price) and the total weight in grams. Both values must be positive numbers, with weight greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why calculate per 100g instead of per gram?
A: 100g is a more practical unit for comparison as it provides numbers that are easier to interpret than tiny per-gram values.

Q2: Can this be used for liquid measurements?
A: Yes, as long as you know the weight in grams. For water-like substances, 100ml ≈ 100g.

Q3: How accurate should my measurements be?
A: For price comparisons, rounding to 2 decimal places is usually sufficient. For scientific purposes, use more precise measurements.

Q4: Does this work for bulk purchases?
A: Yes, the calculation works the same regardless of package size - from single servings to bulk containers.

Q5: Can I calculate per 100ml instead?
A: Yes, simply replace grams with milliliters in the calculation if comparing by volume rather than weight.
