How to calculate the cost per serving of mouthwash?

To determine the cost per serving of mouthwash, you can use the following formula:

Cost per Serving (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = \frac{P}{S} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per serving
  • § P § — price of the bottle
  • § S § — total number of servings in the bottle

To find the total number of servings, you can use this formula:

Total Servings (T) is calculated as:

§§ T = \frac{V}{S_s} §§

where:

  • § T § — total servings
  • § V § — volume of the bottle (in ml)
  • § S_s § — serving size (in ml)

Example:

  1. Bottle Price (P): $10
  2. Bottle Volume (V): 500 ml
  3. Serving Size (S_s): 20 ml

Calculating Total Servings:

§§ T = \frac{500}{20} = 25 \text{ servings} §§

Calculating Cost per Serving:

§§ C = \frac{10}{25} = 0.40 \text{ USD per serving} §§
