Divide the cost of that item in halfIf the container cost $2, you would have used $1

Additional Example
– 1 Check the packaging to determine its size. Bags of sugar are sold by the pound, for example. If a 4 lb. bag of sugar costs $3.20, you can easily calculate its unit pricing.
– 2 Divide $3.20 (the price of the sugar) by 4 (the unit, in pounds). The unit pricing is 80 cents per pound.
– If there were 4 cups in a pound and you only needed 1 cup, the sugar would cost you 20 cents for that recipe
