## What it means for a shop owner

Calibrate it with a known weight from time to time, since a small error multiplies with quantity. Set the price per kilo on the item. For selling by weight, agree the label format with your till.

## A worked example

A weight of 0.750 kg at 8 per kg. The label shows 6 and the till reads it directly.
