Almond Butter Cost Calculator
Explanation
How to calculate the cost of one jar of almond butter?
To find the cost of one jar, you can use the following formula:
Cost per jar (c) is calculated as:
§§ c = \frac{a}{b} §§
where:
- § c § — cost per jar
- § a § — total cost (price for all jars)
- § b § — number of jars
This formula allows you to determine how much you are paying for each individual jar of almond butter.
Example:
Total Cost (§ a §): $20
Number of Jars (§ b §): 5
Cost per Jar:
§§ c = \frac{20}{5} = 4 §§
This means that each jar of almond butter costs $4.
