How to calculate the cost per pack of cold cuts?

This calculator allows you to find out two important values related to the cost of cold cuts:

  1. Cost per Serving: This is the amount you spend on each serving of cold cuts.
  2. Cost per Gram: This is the price you pay for each gram of cold cuts.

To calculate these values, you will need the following inputs:

  • Price per Pack (P): The total cost of the pack of cold cuts.
  • Number of Servings (S): The number of servings you can get from the pack.
  • Weight of Pack (W): The total weight of the pack in grams.
  • Price per Unit Weight (PW): The price per kilogram of the cold cuts.

Formulas

1. Cost per Serving (CPS):

The cost per serving can be calculated using the formula:

§§ CPS = \frac{P}{S} §§

where:

  • § CPS § — cost per serving
  • § P § — price per pack
  • § S § — number of servings

Example:

If the price per pack (§ P §) is $10 and the number of servings (§ S §) is 5:

§§ CPS = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \text{ dollars per serving} §§

2. Cost per Gram (CPG):

The cost per gram can be calculated using the formula:

§§ CPG = \frac{PW}{1000} §§

where:

  • § CPG § — cost per gram
  • § PW § — price per unit weight (in dollars per kilogram)

Example:

If the price per unit weight (§ PW §) is $20 per kilogram:

§§ CPG = \frac{20}{1000} = 0.02 \text{ dollars per gram} §§
