How to calculate the cost per pack of condiments?

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

Total Cost per Pack (C) is given by:

§§ C = P \times U §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost per pack
  • § P § — unit price (price per individual unit)
  • § U § — number of units in a pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you will spend on a complete pack of condiments based on the price of a single unit and the quantity contained in the pack.

Example:

Unit Price (§ P §): $2

Units per Pack (§ U §): 5

Total Cost per Pack:

§§ C = 2 \times 5 = 10 \text{ dollars} §§
