How to calculate the cost per sponge?

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

The cost per sponge (C) is:

§§ C = \frac{P}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per sponge
  • § P § — price per pack
  • § N § — number of sponges in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much each individual sponge costs based on the total price of the pack and the number of sponges it contains.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ P §): $10

Number of Sponges in Pack (§ N §): 5

Cost per Sponge:

§§ C = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \text{ (each sponge costs $2)} §§
