Calorie Cost Calculator

Formula

To calculate the calorie cost:

\[ CC = \frac{TC}{C} \]

Where:

$ CC $ is the calorie cost (dollars per calorie)
$ TC $ is the total cost (dollars)
$ C $ is the number of calories

Calorie Cost Definition

Calorie cost is a measure of the cost per calorie of a product or service. It is calculated by dividing the total cost by the number of calories. This can be useful in determining the cost-efficiency of different food items or products in terms of their caloric content. Lower calorie costs indicate a more cost-efficient product, while higher calorie costs may suggest higher-priced or more energy-dense items.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Cost (TC) = $15.00
Number of Calories (C) = 300

Using the formula:

\[ CC = \frac{15.00}{300} = 0.0500 \]

The calorie cost is $0.0500 per calorie.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Cost (TC) = $25.00
Number of Calories (C) = 500

Using the formula:

\[ CC = \frac{25.00}{500} = 0.0500 \]

The calorie cost is $0.0500 per calorie.
