How to calculate the cost per serving of frozen meals?

To determine the cost per serving, you can use the following formula:

Cost per Serving (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = \frac{P}{S} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per serving
  • § P § — price per pack
  • § S § — number of servings in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are spending on each serving of the frozen meal.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ P §): $10

Number of Servings (§ S §): 4

Cost per Serving:

§§ C = \frac{10}{4} = 2.50 §§

This means you are spending $2.50 for each serving of the frozen meal.
