Tortilla Price Calculator
Explanation
How to calculate the price of one tortilla?
To find the price of a single tortilla, you can use the following formula:
Price per tortilla (p) is calculated as:
§§ p = \frac{T}{Q} §§
where:
- § p § — price per tortilla
- § T § — total price of the pack
- § Q § — quantity of tortillas in the pack
This formula allows you to determine how much you will pay for each individual tortilla based on the total cost of the pack and the number of tortillas it contains.
Example:
Total Price (§ T §): $10
Quantity in Pack (§ Q §): 10
Price per Tortilla:
§§ p = \frac{10}{10} = 1.00 §$
This means each tortilla costs $1.00.
