How to calculate the cost per serving of seasonings?

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

The cost per serving (C) is:

§§ C = \frac{P}{S} §§

where:

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

This formula allows you to find out how much you are spending on each serving of seasoning, which can help you make informed decisions about your purchases.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ P §): $10

Servings per Pack (§ S §): 5

Cost per Serving:

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