How to calculate the cost per piece of chewing gum?

The cost per piece of chewing gum can be calculated using the following formula:

Cost per Gum:

§§ \text{Cost per Gum} = \frac{\text{Price per Pack}}{\text{Gums per Pack}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Gum} § — the cost of a single piece of gum
  • § \text{Price per Pack} § — the total price of the pack of gum
  • § \text{Gums per Pack} § — the number of gums contained in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are spending on each individual piece of gum.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ \text{Price per Pack} §): $2.50

Gums per Pack (§ \text{Gums per Pack} §): 10

Cost per Gum:

§§ \text{Cost per Gum} = \frac{2.50}{10} = 0.25 \text{ (or 25 cents)} §§

How to calculate the total cost for a specified number of gums?

To find out the total cost for a certain number of gums, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Cost per Gum} \times \text{Gums to Buy} §§

where:

  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the total amount you will spend on the specified number of gums
  • § \text{Gums to Buy} § — the number of gums you want to purchase

Example:

If you want to buy 30 gums:

Total Cost:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = 0.25 \times 30 = 7.50 §§
