How to calculate the cost per glove?

The cost per glove can be calculated using the following formula:

Cost per glove (C) is given by:

§§ C = \frac{P + S}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per glove
  • § P § — price per pack of gloves
  • § S § — shipping cost (if applicable)
  • § N § — number of gloves in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are spending on each individual glove, taking into account both the price of the pack and any shipping fees.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ P §): $20

Number of Gloves in Pack (§ N §): 10

Shipping Cost (§ S §): $5

Cost per Glove:

§§ C = \frac{20 + 5}{10} = 2.50 §§

This means that each glove costs $2.50.
