How to calculate the cost per snack bar?

The cost per snack bar can be calculated using a straightforward formula:

The cost per bar (C) is:

§§ C = \frac{P}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per snack bar
  • § P § — price per pack
  • § N § — number of snack bars in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are paying for each individual snack bar based on the total price of the pack and the number of bars it contains.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ P §): $10

Number of Snack Bars in Pack (§ N §): 5

Cost per Snack Bar:

§§ C = \frac{10}{5} = 2.00 §$

This means you are paying $2.00 for each snack bar.
