How to calculate the cost per pack of pie crusts?

The cost per pack of pie crusts can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost:

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

where:

  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the total cost of the pack including additional ingredients
  • § \text{Price per Pack} § — the price of the pie crust pack
  • § \text{Ingredient Cost} § — the cost of any additional ingredients used

Cost per Crust:

§§ \text{Cost per Crust} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Crusts per Pack}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Crust} § — the cost of each individual crust
  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the total cost calculated above
  • § \text{Number of Crusts per Pack} § — the number of crusts included in the pack

Example:

  1. Price per Pack: $5
  2. Number of Crusts per Pack: 2
  3. Ingredient Cost: $1

Calculating Total Cost:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = 5 + 1 = 6 \text{ USD} §§

Calculating Cost per Crust:

§§ \text{Cost per Crust} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \text{ USD} §§
