How to calculate the steel to potassium chloride ratio
Steel to Potassium Chloride ratio = Steel price per Metric Ton ÷ Potassium Chloride price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of potassium chloride per Metric Ton of steel — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $3,066.00 ÷ $405.00 = 7.570. The inverse is 0.1321.
