What to do with the number
Appropriate tongue weight depends on trailer type, hitch, loading and manufacturer guidance. Use scale measurements and follow the trailer and tow-vehicle manufacturer limits.
Use this result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Product specifications, site conditions, manufacturer guidance, local codes, taxes, labor, tolerances, and rounding can change the real requirement or cost.
