How to determine the cost per serving of baking mixes?

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

The formula for cost per serving is:

§§ \text{Cost per Serving} = \frac{\text{Price per Pack}}{\text{Number of Servings}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Serving} § — the cost for each individual serving
  • § \text{Price per Pack} § — the total price of the baking mix pack
  • § \text{Number of Servings} § — the total number of servings contained in the pack

This calculation allows you to understand how much you are spending on each serving of the baking mix, which can be particularly useful for budgeting and meal planning.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ \text{Price per Pack} §): $10

Number of Servings (§ \text{Number of Servings} §): 8

Cost per Serving:

§§ \text{Cost per Serving} = \frac{10}{8} = 1.25 \text{ USD} §§
