Krazy Math Help: Steps to Figuring the Final Price Per Product

I get good deals when CVS runs their Spend $30, Receive $10 Extra Bucks promotion. However, it gets the little confusing trying to figure out exactly how most I paid for any item. So here’s the the step-by-step look at how to mangle down an correct price per product!

Situation #1 -EASY

Spend $30.00, Receive $10.00 Extra Bucks
Buy 6 Angel Soft Toilet Paper $5.00
Use 6 $0.45/1 Angel Soft Toilet Paper
Pay: $27.30, Receive $10.00 Extra Bucks
Final Price: $2.88 each

Step 1:Get to the $30 order BEFORE coupons: $5.00 x Qty 6 = $30
Step 2: Subtract the Extra Bucks: $30.00 – $10 Extra Bucks = $20
Step 3:Calculate sum banking discount: $0.45 banking x 6 = $2.70
Step 4: Subtract the banking bonus from the total: $20 $2.70 = $17.30 TOTAL
Step 5:Figure out how most we outlayed upon any object by dividing: $17.30/6 = $2.88
Simply dividing by 6 only works since we bought the same object at the same $5 value.

Situation #2 – HARD

Spend $30.00, Receive $10.00 Extra Bucks
Buy 1 Zyrtec $18.99
Buy 4 Finish Dishwasher Tabs $3.50
Use 1 $3.00/1 Zyrtec
And make use of 4 $2.15/1 Finish Dishwasher Tabs
Pay: $21.39, Receive $10.00 Extra Bucks
Final Price: ?

Step 1:Get to the $30 order prior to coupons: Zyrtec $18.99 + Finish ($3.50 x 4) = $32.99
Step 2: Subtract the Extra Bucks: $32.99 – $10.00 = $22.99
Step 3:Calculate sum banking discount: $3.00 Zyrtec + (4)$2.15 Finish = $11.60 Total Coupons
Step 4:Subtract the banking bonus from the total: $22.99 – $11.60 = $11.39
Step 5:Figure out how most we outlayed upon any item: This is where it gets tricky, though hang in there. I know how intelligent all Krazy Couponers are!!

First, take the $10 Extra Bucks and divide it by the sum BEFORE coupons: $10/32.99 = $0.3031221.This series represents the bonus from the $10 Extra Bucks for each dollar spent.So for each $1 we spend, we get $0.30301221 off.Its best to leave as most decimals as probable for an correct outcome.
Figure last for Zyrtec: $18.99 x $0.3031221 = $5.7562886. This series represents the apportionment of the $10 gift label which was put towards the Zyrtec!Final price of the Zyrtec = $18.99 – $5.75 Extra Buck Portion – $3 banking = $10.23 TOTAL COST!
Figure last price for Finish = $14.00 x $0.3031221 = $4.2437094 This is the apportionment of the $10 Extra Bucks put towards the Finish. Final Cost of Finish: $14.00 – $4.24 Extra Buck Portion $8.60 coupons = $1.16 for 6 boxes. Now divide by 4 (because we bought 4): $1.16 /4 = $0.29 box!

The Equation (For all we math wizards out there):
{Total Cost of Particular Item [((Total Extra Bucks Reward / Total Before any Discount) x Total Cost of the Particular Item) - Total Coupons for Item]} / Quantity Purchased of which Particular Item

Yikes!!That looks scary, though only follow theabove stepsor pull out thatdusty graphing electronic caclulator from tall propagandize and you’ll be fine!
