How to calculate the cost per serving of popcorn?

To find the cost per serving of popcorn, you can use the following formula:

Cost per Serving (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = \frac{P}{S} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per serving
  • § P § — price of the pack
  • § S § — number of servings in the pack

This formula allows you to determine how much you will spend on each serving of popcorn, making it easier to budget for snacks.

Example:

Price of Pack (§ P §): $10

Number of Servings (§ S §): 5

Cost per Serving:

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