How to calculate the cost per bottle of baby lotion?

To find the cost per bottle, you can use the following formula:

Cost per Bottle (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = \frac{T}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per bottle
  • § T § — total cost of the lotion
  • § N § — number of bottles in the package

This formula allows you to determine how much you are paying for each individual bottle of baby lotion.

Example:

Total Cost (§ T §): $20

Number of Bottles (§ N §): 4

Cost per Bottle:

§§ C = \frac{20}{4} = 5 §§

This means you are paying $5 for each bottle of baby lotion.
