They're not everyday things for a lot of people though.
I was in a shop this weekend where the price per 250g of coffee was displayed, but the woman in front of me only had a 175g container. Neither her, the person serving her, or the other person working in the café knew how much to charge her. It's 175/250 * £PRICE_PER_250.
In supermarkets, prices of items are displayed beside each other - a sharing bar of chocolate is £x/100g, but the multipack is £y/item, and each item is z grams. Which is better value?
Cooking - I have a recipe in a book that serves 2 people, but I'm cooking for 3. How much X do I need?
