How to calculate the cost per outlet cover?

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

Total Cost Calculation:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Price per Pack} + \text{Additional Costs} §§

where:

  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the total amount spent on the pack of outlet covers.
  • § \text{Price per Pack} § — the price of the pack of outlet covers.
  • § \text{Additional Costs} § — any extra costs associated with the purchase (e.g., shipping).

Cost per Outlet Calculation:

§§ \text{Cost per Outlet} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Outlets per Pack}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Outlet} § — the cost of each individual outlet cover.
  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the total amount spent on the pack of outlet covers.
  • § \text{Number of Outlets per Pack} § — the number of outlet covers included in the pack.

Example:

  1. Price per Pack (§ \text{Price per Pack} §): $10
  2. Number of Outlets per Pack (§ \text{Number of Outlets per Pack} §): 10
  3. Additional Costs (§ \text{Additional Costs} §): $2

Total Cost Calculation:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = 10 + 2 = 12 \text{ USD} §§

Cost per Outlet Calculation:

§§ \text{Cost per Outlet} = \frac{12}{10} = 1.20 \text{ USD} §§
