🧾 Average Price Calculator – Simplify Your Cost Per Unit

✅ Introduction

Average Price is the weighted average cost per item/unit, especially when you buy the same item multiple times at different prices.

Knowing your average price is essential for:

• Investors tracking stock purchase prices
• Sellers calculating product cost basis
• Shoppers comparing deals
• Businesses evaluating vendor pricing

📌 What Is Average Price?

Average Price is the total cost of all units purchased divided by the total number of units. This gives you a more realistic view of how much you paid on average per item.

🧮 Formula (Plain Text)

Average Price =
(Total Quantity₁ × Price₁ + Total Quantity₂ × Price₂ + …) ÷ (Total Quantity₁ + Quantity₂ + …)

Or simply:

Average Price = Total Cost ÷ Total Quantity

🧪 Example

You bought:

• 10 units at ₹50
• 20 units at ₹70

Step-by-step:

• Total Cost = (10 × 50) + (20 × 70) = ₹500 + ₹1400 = ₹1900
• Total Quantity = 10 + 20 = 30

Average Price = ₹1900 ÷ 30 = ₹63.33

✅ So, your average price per unit is ₹63.33
