How to calculate the cost per pack of telescopes?

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

The cost per telescope pack is:

§§ \text{Cost per Pack} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Telescopes}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Pack} § — the cost for each pack of telescopes
  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the total amount spent on the telescopes
  • § \text{Number of Telescopes} § — the total number of telescopes in the pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are paying for each pack of telescopes based on the total expenditure and the quantity included.

Example:

Total Cost (§ \text{Total Cost} §): $100

Number of Telescopes (§ \text{Number of Telescopes} §): 5

Cost per Pack:

§§ \text{Cost per Pack} = \frac{100}{5} = 20 \text{ USD} §§
