How to calculate the price per piece?

How to calculate the unit price when comparing goods sold in multipacks: PricePerPiece.com

Be on your guards! Use PricePerPiece.com to calculate exactly the real unit price and compare the results for each item. The cheapest item will automatically show inside the yellow border box after you calculate 2 or more items. Defy the traps of marketing and advertising and be a smart consumer!

• Item1: enter the store, "twin pack" in the item name, write 2 in the number of pieces, then input the price. Calculate the price per piece.

• Item2: enter the shop, "5-pack" in the item field, write 5 in the number of pieces, then enter the price. Calculate to compare with previous result. Check the yellow box next to the result; it shows the cheapest item per piece.
Example 2: - At the market, you see two cartons of free-range eggs: one with 8 eggs for $2.55 and the other with 6 eggs for $2.05. Which carton has cheaper eggs per piece? To compare:
