How to calculate the price of one bar of soap?

To find the price of a single bar of soap, you can use the following formula:

Price per bar (p) is calculated as:

§§ p = \frac{C}{N} §§

where:

  • § p § — price per bar of soap
  • § C § — total cost of the soap batch
  • § N § — number of bars in the batch

This formula allows you to determine how much each bar of soap costs based on the total expenditure for the entire batch.

Example:

Total Cost of Soap Batch (§ C §): $100

Number of Bars in Batch (§ N §): 10

Price per Bar:

§§ p = \frac{100}{10} = 10 \text{ USD} §§
