How to calculate the cost per seed?

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

Cost per Seed (C) is given by:

§§ C = \frac{P}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per seed
  • § P § — price per pack of seeds
  • § N § — number of seeds in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are spending on each individual seed based on the total price of the pack and the quantity of seeds it contains.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ P §): $10

Number of Seeds in Pack (§ N §): 100

Cost per Seed:

§§ C = \frac{10}{100} = 0.10 \text{ (or 10 cents)} §§
