How to calculate the price of one garlic bulb?

To find out how much one garlic bulb costs, you can use the following formula:

Price per clove (p) is calculated as:

§§ p = \frac{P}{C} §§

where:

  • § p § — price per clove
  • § P § — price per kilogram of garlic
  • § C § — number of cloves in a kilogram

This formula allows you to determine the cost of a single garlic clove based on the total price of garlic per kilogram and the number of cloves contained in that kilogram.

Example:

If the price per kilogram of garlic (§ P §) is $10 and there are 20 cloves in a kilogram (§ C §):

§§ p = \frac{10}{20} = 0.50 §$

This means that each garlic clove costs $0.50.
