Cost per Pack of Weight Loss Shakes Calculator
Explanation
How to calculate the cost per pack of weight loss shakes?
This calculator allows you to find out how much you will spend on weight loss shakes based on the price per pack, the number of servings in each pack, and the number of servings you wish to consume. The calculations are based on the following formulas:
Cost per Serving:
The cost per serving can be calculated using the formula:
§§ c = \frac{p}{s} §§
where:
- § c § — cost per serving
- § p § — price per pack
- § s § — servings per pack
This formula gives you the cost of one serving of the shake.
Total Cost for Desired Servings:
To find out the total cost for the desired number of servings, you can use the formula:
§§ t = c \times d §§
where:
- § t § — total cost for desired servings
- § c § — cost per serving
- § d § — desired servings
This formula helps you understand how much you will spend based on how many servings you want.
Example:
- Price per Pack (§ p §): $30
- Servings per Pack (§ s §): 10
- Desired Servings (§ d §): 5
Calculations:
Cost per Serving:
§§ c = \frac{30}{10} = 3 \text{ (cost per serving)} §§
Total Cost for Desired Servings:
§§ t = 3 \times 5 = 15 \text{ (total cost for 5 servings)} §§
Thus, the cost per serving is $3, and the total cost for 5 servings is $15.
