How to calculate the cost per bagel?

The cost per bagel can be calculated using the following formula:

Cost per Bagel (C) is given by:

§§ C = \frac{P + A}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per bagel
  • § P § — price per pack (total cost of the pack)
  • § A § — additional costs (such as taxes, delivery fees, etc.)
  • § N § — number of bagels in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much each bagel costs when you consider both the price of the pack and any extra costs associated with it.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ P §): $10

Number of Bagels in Pack (§ N §): 12

Additional Costs (§ A §): $2

Cost per Bagel:

§§ C = \frac{10 + 2}{12} = 1.00 \text{ USD} §§
