How to calculate the cost per bag of trash bags?

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

The cost per bag (C) is:

§§ C = \frac{P}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per bag
  • § P § — price per pack
  • § N § — number of bags per pack

This formula allows you to find out how much you are spending on each individual trash bag based on the total price of the pack and the number of bags it contains.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ P §): $10

Number of Bags per Pack (§ N §): 20

Cost per Bag:

§§ C = \frac{10}{20} = 0.50 \text{ USD} §§
