Fireworks Net Explosive Weight Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Fireworks Net Explosive Weight.

NEW = DS W * .50 + DCW * .25

Variables:

  • NEW is the Fireworks Net Explosive Weight (lbs)
  • DSW is the weight of display shells cases (lbs) 
  • DCW is the weight of display cakes and candle (lbs) 

How to Calculate Fireworks Net Explosive Weight?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Fireworks Net Explosive Weight.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the weight of display shells cases (lbs). 
    • The weight of display shells cases (lbs) is given as:: 400.
  2. Next, determine the weight of display cakes and candle (lbs). 
    • The weight of display cakes and candle (lbs) is provided as: 200.
  3. Finally, calculate the Fireworks Net Explosive Weight using the equation above: 

NEW = DSW * .50 + DCW * .25

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

NEW = 400 * .50 + 200 * .25 = 250.00 (lbs)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

weight of display shells cases (lbs) = 300

weight of display cakes and candle (lbs) = 600

Test your knowledge and check your answer with the calculator..

NEW = DS W * .50 + DCW * .25 = ?
