How to calculate the cost per pack of shampoo?

The cost per use and cost per 100ml of shampoo can be calculated using the following formulas:

1. Cost per Use:

The cost per use can be calculated with the formula:

§§ \text{Cost per Use} = \left( \frac{\text{Price per Pack}}{\text{Milliliters per Pack}} \right) \times \text{Milliliters per Use} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Use} § — the cost for each application of shampoo
  • § \text{Price per Pack} § — the total price of the shampoo pack
  • § \text{Milliliters per Pack} § — the total volume of shampoo in the pack
  • § \text{Milliliters per Use} § — the amount of shampoo used in one application

Example:

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

Milliliters per Pack (§ \text{Milliliters per Pack} §): 500ml

Milliliters per Use (§ \text{Milliliters per Use} §): 10ml

Cost per Use:

§§ \text{Cost per Use} = \left( \frac{10}{500} \right) \times 10 = 0.20 \text{ USD} §§

2. Cost per 100ml:

The cost per 100ml can be calculated with the formula:

§§ \text{Cost per 100ml} = \left( \frac{\text{Price per Pack}}{\text{Milliliters per Pack}} \right) \times 100 §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per 100ml} § — the cost for 100ml of shampoo

Example:

Using the same values as above:

Cost per 100ml:

§§ \text{Cost per 100ml} = \left( \frac{10}{500} \right) \times 100 = 2.00 \text{ USD} §§
