Need help crunching some numbers (A.K.A. need some math help

Alright, I'm figuring out if my calculations are correct.

 

 

 

I want to buy half the coal needed per steel bar (so I mine 100 coal for 100 steel bars, and I buy the other 100). Alongside that, I'm going to buy natures to high alch the steel plates I make from the steel bars.

 

 

 

-==Prices==-

 

Coal: 180

 

Natures: 300

 

 

 

High Alch Value for steel plates: 1,200

 

 

 

Now, it takes 5 steel bars per 1 steel plate. So that amounts to 5 steel bars need to equal 1,200 gp. If I buy all my coal for 180 gp, that would amount to 900 gp spent on 5 steel bars (remember I'm only buying half the coal). Now if you add in the money for natures, that would be 1 nature per 5 steel bars or 1 steel plates. If I buy all my natures for 300 gp ea, then that would equal a total of 1,200gp spent for 5 steel bars (or 1 steel plate) and 1 nature rune.

 

 

 

In other words, does buying the materials for 5 steel bars and 1 nature rune going to amount to 1,200gp (meaning, no money lost?)

 

 

 

I'm not good at explaining things so... are my calculations correct?

(This is only if prices are firm or cheaper. Anything over would cost too much. You can take into account price variations. Such as: Coal for 185 ea and Natures for 295 ea. This should still equal 1,200 gp per plate and no money lost)[/hide]

they are correct

 

so buy half the coal and the nat then mine the rest and you will even out.

yes, if you buy for 180 or cheaper for coal, 300 for nats, and mine all the iron needed, then you will lose nothing, and gain the magic exp.

And mining + smithing xp :P
