How to calculate the price of one lemon?

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

Price per Lemon (p) is calculated as:

§§ p = \frac{C}{N} §§

where:

  • § p § — price per lemon
  • § C § — total cost of lemons
  • § N § — number of lemons

This formula allows you to determine the cost of a single lemon by dividing the total cost by the number of lemons purchased.

Example:

Total Cost (§ C §): $10

Number of Lemons (§ N §): 5

Price per Lemon:

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

When to use the Lemon Price Calculator?

  1. Grocery Shopping: When you want to know how much you are paying for each lemon in your shopping cart.

    • Example: If you buy a bag of lemons for $8 and there are 4 lemons, you can quickly find out that each lemon costs $2.

  2. Budgeting: To help you manage your grocery budget by understanding the cost per item.

    • Example: If you have a budget of $20 for fruits, knowing the price per lemon can help you decide how many to buy.

  3. Recipe Planning: When preparing recipes that require a specific number of lemons, you can calculate the total cost based on the price per lemon.

    • Example: If a recipe calls for 3 lemons and you know each lemon costs $1.50, you can easily calculate that you will spend $4.50.

  4. Comparative Shopping: To compare prices from different stores or vendors.

    • Example: If one store sells lemons for $0.75 each and another for $1.00 each, you can decide where to buy based on the price per lemon.
