Cost per Pack of Envelopes Calculator
Explanation
How to calculate the cost per envelope?
The cost per envelope can be calculated using a straightforward formula:
The cost per envelope (C) is:
§§ C = \frac{P}{N} §§
where:
- § C § — cost per envelope
- § P § — price per pack of envelopes
- § N § — number of envelopes in the pack
This formula allows you to find out how much each envelope costs based on the total price of the pack and the number of envelopes it contains.
Example:
Price per Pack (§ P §): $10
Number of Envelopes in Pack (§ N §): 20
Cost per Envelope:
§§ C = \frac{10}{20} = 0.50 §$
This means each envelope costs $0.50.
