How to Calculate the Price of One Ketchup Bottle?

To find the price of a single ketchup bottle, you can use the following formula:

Price per Bottle (P) is calculated as:

§§ P = \frac{C}{N} \times (1 + \frac{T}{100}) §§

where:

  • § P § — price per bottle
  • § C § — total cost of the pack (price)
  • § N § — number of bottles in the pack
  • § T § — tax rate (in percentage)

This formula allows you to determine how much you will pay for each bottle after accounting for the total cost and any applicable taxes.

Example:

If the total pack price (§ C §) is $12, and there are 6 bottles in the pack (§ N §), with a tax rate (§ T §) of 5%, the calculation would be:

§§ P = \frac{12}{6} \times (1 + \frac{5}{100}) = 2 \times 1.05 = 2.10 §$

Thus, the price per bottle would be $2.10.
