How to calculate the price of one pack of beef jerky?

To find the price of one pack of beef jerky, you can use the following formulas:

Price per Pack:

§§ P = \frac{T}{N} §§

where:

  • § P § — price per pack
  • § T § — total price (cost of all packs)
  • § N § — number of packs

This formula gives you the cost of a single pack of beef jerky.

Price per 100 grams:

§§ P_{100g} = \left( \frac{P}{W} \right) \times 100 §§

where:

  • § P_{100g} § — price per 100 grams
  • § P § — price per pack
  • § W § — weight per pack (in grams)

This formula allows you to determine how much you would pay for 100 grams of beef jerky.

Example:

  1. Given:

    • Total Price (§ T §): $20
    • Number of Packs (§ N §): 5
    • Weight per Pack (§ W §): 100 grams

  2. Calculating Price per Pack:

    §§ P = \frac{20}{5} = 4 \text{ dollars} §§

  3. Calculating Price per 100 grams:

    §§ P_{100g} = \left( \frac{4}{100} \right) \times 100 = 4 \text{ dollars} §§
