How to calculate the cost per pack of sushi?

The cost per pack of sushi can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = (P_f + P_r + P_v + P_n + C_a) \times N_p §§

where:

  • § P_f § — price of fish
  • § P_r § — price of rice
  • § P_v § — price of vegetables
  • § P_n § — price of nori
  • § C_a § — additional costs
  • § N_p § — number of packs

Cost per Pack:

§§ \text{Cost per Pack} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{N_p} §§

This formula allows you to find out how much each pack of sushi costs based on the total expenses incurred for the ingredients and any additional costs.

Example:

  • Fish Price (§ P_f §): $10
  • Rice Price (§ P_r §): $5
  • Vegetables Price (§ P_v §): $3
  • Nori Price (§ P_n §): $2
  • Additional Costs (§ C_a §): $10
  • Number of Packs (§ N_p §): 5

Calculating Total Cost:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = (10 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 10) \times 5 = 30 \times 5 = 150 \text{ dollars} §§

Calculating Cost per Pack:

§§ \text{Cost per Pack} = \frac{150}{5} = 30 \text{ dollars} §§
