How to calculate the cost per serving of hot cocoa mix?

To find 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 § — total pack price (in dollars)
  • § S § — number of servings in the pack

This formula allows you to determine how much each serving of hot cocoa mix costs based on the total price of the pack and the number of servings it contains.

Example:

Total Pack Price (§ P §): $10

Number of Servings (§ S §): 5

Cost per Serving:

§§ C = \frac{10}{5} = 2.00 §$

This means each serving of hot cocoa mix costs $2.00.
