Explanation

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

The cost per cookie (C) is:

§§ C = \frac{P}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per cookie
  • § P § — price per pack (total cost of the pack)
  • § N § — number of cookies in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are spending on each individual cookie based on the total price of the pack and the number of cookies it contains.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ P §): $5

Number of Cookies in Pack (§ N §): 12

Cost per Cookie:

§§ C = \frac{5}{12} \approx 0.42 §§

This means you are spending approximately $0.42 per cookie.
