How to calculate the cost per bottle of olive oil?

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 all bottles
  • § N § — number of bottles

This formula allows you to determine how much you are spending on each bottle of olive oil.

Example:

Total Cost (§ T §): $100

Number of Bottles (§ N §): 5

Cost per Bottle:

§§ C = \frac{100}{5} = 20 \text{ USD} §§
