How to calculate the cost per wipe?

The cost per wipe can be calculated using a straightforward formula:

The cost per wipe (c) is given by:

§§ c = \frac{p}{n} §§

where:

  • § c § — cost per wipe
  • § p § — total pack price (in dollars)
  • § n § — number of wipes in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are spending on each individual wipe, which can be particularly useful for budgeting and comparing prices across different brands or pack sizes.

Example:

Total Pack Price (§ p §): $10

Number of Wipes (§ n §): 100

Cost per Wipe:

§§ c = \frac{10}{100} = 0.10 \text{ (or 10 cents)} §§
