How to calculate the price of one can of chickpeas?

To find out how much one can of chickpeas costs, you can use the following formula:

Price per can (p) is calculated as:

§§ p = \frac{a}{b} §§

where:

  • § p § — price per can
  • § a § — price per pack (total cost of the pack)
  • § b § — number of cans in the pack

This formula allows you to determine the cost of a single can based on the total price of the pack and the number of cans it contains.

Example:

Price per Pack (§ a §): $12

Cans per Pack (§ b §): 6

Price per Can:

§§ p = \frac{12}{6} = 2 \text{ USD} §§

How to calculate the total price for a specific number of cans?

To find out the total price for a specific number of cans, you can use the following formula:

Total price (T) is calculated as:

§§ T = p \times n §§

where:

  • § T § — total price for the specified number of cans
  • § p § — price per can
  • § n § — number of cans you want to purchase

Example:

Price per Can (§ p §): $2

Number of Cans (§ n §): 3

Total Price:

§§ T = 2 \times 3 = 6 \text{ USD} §§
