How to calculate the cost per highlighter in a pack?

To find the cost per highlighter, you can use the following formula:

Cost per Highlighter (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = \frac{P}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per highlighter
  • § P § — price per pack
  • § N § — number of highlighters in the pack

This formula allows you to determine how much you are spending on each individual highlighter based on the total price of the pack and the quantity of highlighters it contains.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ P §): $10

Number of Highlighters in Pack (§ N §): 5

Cost per Highlighter:

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