If a bag of chips has a serving size of 1 oz.(28g/about 32 chips), and serving per container is 7. So if the bag of chips costs 0.99, approximately how much does one serving of chips cost? Would I start out by 99/7? help!
Yes. Divide 0.99 by 7 to find the cost of one serving.
My answer comes out to 0.141428571 and so on....what exactly is my answer do I need to round off or anything?
Round it off to $0.14.
Remember this is money -- so the cost of one serving is about 14 cents.
Thank you very much you have been great help!
Yes, to find out approximately how much one serving of chips costs, you can start by dividing the total cost of the bag of chips by the number of servings. Let's go through the calculation step by step.
Step 1: Calculate the cost per bag of chips.
You mentioned that the bag of chips costs $0.99.
Step 2: Calculate the number of servings in the bag.
It is stated that there are 7 servings per container.
Step 3: Calculate the cost per serving.
To calculate the cost per serving, divide the total cost of the bag by the number of servings in the bag.
Cost per serving = Total cost of the bag / Number of servings in the bag
In this case, the calculation would be:
Cost per serving = $0.99 / 7
To perform this division, you can use a calculator or do the long division manually.
$0.99 ÷ 7 = $0.1414285714285714 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Therefore, approximately one serving of chips costs $0.14.
Note: It is important to keep in mind that this calculation assumes an equal distribution of chip servings in the bag. In reality, the distribution may vary slightly.
