How to calculate the price per cherry?

The price per cherry can be calculated using a straightforward formula:

The price per cherry (p) is:

§§ p = \frac{C}{N} §§

where:

  • § p § — price per cherry
  • § C § — total cost of cherries
  • § N § — total number of cherries

This formula allows you to find out how much you are paying for each individual cherry based on the total cost and the quantity you have.

Example:

Total Cost (§ C §): $12

Total Cherries (§ N §): 10

Price per Cherry:

§§ p = \frac{12}{10} = 1.20 §$

This means you are paying $1.20 for each cherry.
