How to calculate the total cost for one bottle of yeast?

To determine the total cost for one bottle of yeast, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = \left( \frac{P}{Q} \right) \times N §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost for the specified number of bottles
  • § P § — price per yeast pack
  • § Q § — quantity of yeast in each pack
  • § N § — number of bottles you want to produce

This formula allows you to find out how much you will spend on yeast for a given number of bottles based on the price and quantity of yeast you purchase.

Example:

  • Price per Yeast Pack (§ P §): $5
  • Quantity of Yeast in Pack (§ Q §): 10
  • Number of Bottles (§ N §): 5

Total Cost:

§§ C = \left( \frac{5}{10} \right) \times 5 = 2.5 \text{ (or $2.50)} §§
