How to calculate the cost per umbrella?

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

The cost per umbrella (C) is given by:

§§ C = \frac{T}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per umbrella
  • § T § — total cost (price)
  • § N § — number of umbrellas

This formula allows you to find out how much each umbrella costs based on the total amount spent and the quantity purchased.

Example:

Total Cost (§ T §): $100

Number of Umbrellas (§ N §): 10

Cost per Umbrella:

§§ C = \frac{100}{10} = 10 §

This means that each umbrella costs $10.
