How to calculate the cost per bag of chips?

The cost per bag can be calculated using a straightforward formula:

The cost per bag (C) is:

§§ C = \frac{T}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per bag
  • § T § — total cost (price)
  • § N § — number of bags

This formula allows you to find out how much you are spending on each bag of chips.

Example:

Total Cost (§ T §): $100

Number of Bags (§ N §): 10

Cost per Bag:

§§ C = \frac{100}{10} = 10 §

This means you are spending $10 for each bag of chips.
