How to calculate the cost per treat from a pack of pet treats?

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

The cost per treat (t) is:

§§ t = \frac{p}{n} §§

where:

  • § t § — cost per treat
  • § p § — price per pack
  • § n § — number of treats in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are spending on each individual treat, which can help you make informed purchasing decisions.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ p §): $10

Number of Treats in Pack (§ n §): 5

Cost per Treat:

§§ t = \frac{10}{5} = 2.00 §§

This means each treat costs $2.00.
