How to calculate the cost per snack in a pack of gluten-free snacks?

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

The cost per snack (C) is:

§§ C = \frac{P}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per snack
  • § P § — total pack price (in dollars)
  • § N § — number of snacks in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are spending on each individual snack, which is particularly useful for budgeting and comparing prices across different products.

Example:

Total Pack Price (§ P §): $10

Number of Snacks in Pack (§ N §): 5

Cost per Snack:

§§ C = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \text{ dollars} §§
