How to calculate the cost per pack of baking kits for kids?

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

Total Cost for All Packs:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = (\text{Ingredient Cost} + \text{Pack Cost}) \times \text{Number of Packs} §§

where:

  • § \text{Total Cost} § — total cost for all packs
  • § \text{Ingredient Cost} § — cost of ingredients for one pack
  • § \text{Pack Cost} § — cost of the baking kit pack
  • § \text{Number of Packs} § — total number of packs purchased

Cost per Serving:

§§ \text{Cost per Serving} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Servings per Pack} \times \text{Number of Packs}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Serving} § — cost for each serving
  • § \text{Servings per Pack} § — number of servings in one pack

Example:

  1. Input Values:

    • Ingredient Cost: $10
    • Pack Cost: $5
    • Servings per Pack: 4
    • Number of Packs: 2

  2. Calculations:

    • Total Cost:
      • §§ \text{Total Cost} = (10 + 5) \times 2 = 30 §$
    • Cost per Serving:
      • §§ \text{Cost per Serving} = \frac{30}{4 \times 2} = 3.75 §$
