How to calculate the cost per tub of sour cream?

To find the cost per tub, you can use the following formula:

Cost per tub (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = \frac{T}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per tub
  • § T § — total cost of all tubs
  • § N § — number of tubs purchased

This formula allows you to determine how much you are paying for each individual tub of sour cream.

Example:

Total Cost (§ T §): $10

Number of Tubs (§ N §): 5

Cost per Tub:

§§ C = \frac{10}{5} = 2.00 §§

This means you are paying $2.00 for each tub of sour cream.
