Enter the total price ($) and the total volume (quarts) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Price Per Quart. 

Price Per Quart Formula

PPQ = TP / V

Variables:

  • PPQ is the Price Per Quart ($/quart)
  • TP is the total price ($)
  • V is the total volume (quarts)

To calculate the Price Per Quart, divide the overall price by the total volume in quarts.

How to Calculate Price Per Quart?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Price Per Quart.


  1. First, determine the total price ($). 
  2. Next, determine the total volume (quarts). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = PPQ = TP / V.
  4. Finally, calculate the Price Per Quart.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total price ($) = 85

total volume (quarts) = 75
