How to calculate the cost per box of fabric softener?

To determine the total cost and cost per unit of fabric softener, you can use the following formulas:

Total Cost Calculation:

The total cost of the fabric softener can be calculated as:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Price per Box} + \text{Shipping Cost} §§

where:

  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the total cost of the box including shipping
  • § \text{Price per Box} § — the price of one box of fabric softener
  • § \text{Shipping Cost} § — the cost of shipping (optional)

Cost per Unit Calculation:

Once you have the total cost, you can find the cost per unit using the formula:

§§ \text{Cost per Unit} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Units per Box}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Unit} § — the cost for each unit of fabric softener
  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the total cost calculated above
  • § \text{Units per Box} § — the number of units contained in one box

Example:

  1. Input Values:

    • Price per Box: $20
    • Units per Box: 12
    • Volume per Unit: 1.5 liters
    • Shipping Cost: $5 (optional)

  2. Calculations:

    • Total Cost:
      • §§ \text{Total Cost} = 20 + 5 = 25 §§
    • Cost per Unit:
      • §§ \text{Cost per Unit} = \frac{25}{12} \approx 2.08 §§
