How to calculate the cost per bag and per cup of coffee beans?

To determine the cost per bag and per cup of coffee beans, you can use the following formulas:

Cost per Bag:

§§ \text{Cost per Bag} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Bags}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Bag} § — the cost of one bag of coffee beans
  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the total amount spent on coffee beans
  • § \text{Number of Bags} § — the total number of bags purchased

Example:

Total Cost (§ \text{Total Cost} §): $50

Number of Bags (§ \text{Number of Bags} §): 5

Cost per Bag:

§§ \text{Cost per Bag} = \frac{50}{5} = 10 \text{ USD} §§

Cost per Cup:

§§ \text{Cost per Cup} = \frac{\text{Cost per Bag}}{\text{Cups per Bag}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Cup} § — the cost of one cup of coffee
  • § \text{Cups per Bag} § — the number of cups that can be made from one bag

Example:

Cost per Bag (§ \text{Cost per Bag} §): $10

Cups per Bag (§ \text{Cups per Bag} §): 10

Cost per Cup:

§§ \text{Cost per Cup} = \frac{10}{10} = 1 \text{ USD} §§
