Calculation and observed tool result

Before

10 m² × 25 g/m² = 250 g/application; floor(2,000 ÷ 250) = 8 applications. Follow the product rate.

Recorded quantity: 2,000 g.

After

10 m² × 25 g/m² = 250 g/application; floor(1,750 ÷ 250) = 7 applications. Follow the product rate.

Recorded quantity: 1,750 g.

What the result means

The new snapshot represents seven applications instead of eight.

Limits of this example

The actual application rate remains the user’s responsibility.
