How to calculate the cost per pretzel?

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

The cost per pretzel is:

§§ \text{Cost per Pretzel} = \frac{\text{Price per Pack}}{\text{Number of Pretzels in Pack}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Pretzel} § — the cost of a single pretzel
  • § \text{Price per Pack} § — the total price of the pack of pretzels
  • § \text{Number of Pretzels in Pack} § — the total number of pretzels contained in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are spending on each pretzel, which can be useful for budgeting and comparing prices.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ \text{Price per Pack} §): $10

Number of Pretzels in Pack (§ \text{Number of Pretzels in Pack} §): 20

Cost per Pretzel:

§§ \text{Cost per Pretzel} = \frac{10}{20} = 0.50 \text{ USD} §§
