How to Calculate the Price of One Pouch of Applesauce

To find the price of one pouch of applesauce, you can use the following formulas:

  1. Price per Pouch:

    The price per pouch can be calculated using the formula:

    §§ P = \frac{C}{N} §§

    where:

    • § P § — price per pouch
    • § C § — total cost of all pouches
    • § N § — number of pouches

    Example:

    Total Cost (§ C §): $10

    Number of Pouches (§ N §): 5

    Price per Pouch:

    §§ P = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \text{ dollars} §§

  2. Price per Serving:

    To find the price per serving, you can use the formula:

    §§ S = \frac{P}{S_p} §§

    where:

    • § S § — price per serving
    • § P § — price per pouch
    • § S_p § — number of servings per pouch

    Example:

    Price per Pouch (§ P §): $2

    Number of Servings per Pouch (§ S_p §): 4

    Price per Serving:

    §§ S = \frac{2}{4} = 0.5 \text{ dollars} §§
