How to calculate the cost of one bell pepper?

To find the cost of a single bell pepper, you can use the following formula:

Price per Bell Pepper (p) is calculated as:

§§ p = \frac{C}{Q} §§

where:

  • § p § — price per bell pepper
  • § C § — total cost of the bell peppers
  • § Q § — quantity of bell peppers purchased

This formula allows you to determine how much you are paying for each individual bell pepper based on the total amount spent and the number of peppers bought.

Example:

Total Cost (§ C §): $10

Quantity of Bell Peppers (§ Q §): 5

Price per Bell Pepper:

§§ p = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \text{ dollars} §§
