How to calculate the price per cucumber?

The price per cucumber can be calculated using a straightforward formula:

Price per Cucumber (p) is given by:

§§ p = \frac{T}{Q} §§

where:

  • § p § — price per cucumber
  • § T § — total price for all cucumbers
  • § Q § — quantity of cucumbers

This formula allows you to find out how much you are paying for each cucumber based on the total amount spent and the number of cucumbers bought.

Example:

Total Price (§ T §): $10

Quantity of Cucumbers (§ Q §): 5

Price per Cucumber:

§§ p = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \text{ dollars} §§
