How to calculate the cost per cracker?

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

The cost per cracker (unit price) is:

§§ \text{Unit Price} = \frac{\text{Price per Pack}}{\text{Number of Crackers in Pack}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Unit Price} § — the price of a single cracker
  • § \text{Price per Pack} § — the total price of the pack of crackers
  • § \text{Number of Crackers in Pack} § — the total number of crackers contained in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are paying for each individual cracker, which can be useful for budgeting and comparing prices.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ \text{Price per Pack} §): $5

Number of Crackers in Pack (§ \text{Number of Crackers in Pack} §): 25

Cost per Cracker:

§§ \text{Unit Price} = \frac{5}{25} = 0.20 \text{ (or 20 cents)} §§
