Formula (LaTeX) + variables + units

This section shows the formulas used by the calculator engine, plus variable definitions and units.

Formula (extracted LaTeX)

\[TotalArea_{with\_waste} = Area \times (1 + \frac{WasteFactor_{\%}}{100})\]

TotalArea_{with\_waste} = Area \times (1 + \frac{WasteFactor_{\%}}{100})

Formula (extracted LaTeX)

\[Coverage_{per\_bag} = BaseCoverage_{50lb} \times (\frac{BagSize_{lbs}}{50})\]

Coverage_{per\_bag} = BaseCoverage_{50lb} \times (\frac{BagSize_{lbs}}{50})

Formula (extracted LaTeX)

\[TotalBags = CEILING(\frac{TotalArea_{with\_waste}}{Coverage_{per\_bag}})\]

TotalBags = CEILING(\frac{TotalArea_{with\_waste}}{Coverage_{per\_bag}})
