How to Calculate the Cost per Bag of Tapioca Pearls?

The cost per serving of tapioca pearls can be calculated using the following formula:

Cost per Serving:

§§ \text{Cost per Serving} = \frac{\text{Price per Bag} + \text{Additional Ingredients Cost}}{\text{Servings per Bag}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Serving} § — the cost for each serving of tapioca pearls
  • § \text{Price per Bag} § — the total price of the bag of tapioca pearls
  • § \text{Additional Ingredients Cost} § — the cost of any additional ingredients used
  • § \text{Servings per Bag} § — the number of servings that can be made from one bag

Example:

  • Price per Bag: $10
  • Additional Ingredients Cost: $2
  • Servings per Bag: 5

Cost per Serving:

§§ \text{Cost per Serving} = \frac{10 + 2}{5} = \frac{12}{5} = 2.40 §§ §

Total Cost for a Given Number of Servings

To find the total cost for a specific number of servings, use the following formula:

Total Cost:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Cost per Serving} \times \text{Number of Servings} §§

where:

  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the total cost for the specified number of servings
  • § \text{Number of Servings} § — the total number of servings you want to prepare

Example:

If you want to prepare 10 servings:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = 2.40 \times 10 = 24.00 §§ §
