Cost per Pack of Soda Calculator
Explanation
How to calculate the cost per bottle or can of soda?
The cost per bottle or can can be calculated using the following formula:
Cost per Bottle/Can:
§§ \text{Cost per Bottle/Can} = \frac{\text{Price per Pack}}{\text{Bottles/Can per Pack}} §§
where:
- § \text{Price per Pack} § — the total price of the pack of soda.
- § \text{Bottles/Can per Pack} § — the number of bottles or cans contained in the pack.
This formula allows you to find out how much you are paying for each individual bottle or can of soda.
Example:
Price per Pack (§ \text{Price per Pack} §): $10
Bottles/Can per Pack (§ \text{Bottles/Can per Pack} §): 6
Cost per Bottle/Can:
§§ \text{Cost per Bottle/Can} = \frac{10}{6} \approx 1.67 §
This means you are paying approximately $1.67 for each bottle or can of soda.
