The cost of a 450g salad mix pack is CHF 5.20.
2. **Determine the price per gram:**
To find the price per gram, divide the total cost by the total number of grams:
\text{Price per gram} = \frac{\text{Total Price}}{\text{Weight in grams}} = \frac{5.20\, \text{CHF}}{450\, \text{g}}
3. **Calculate the result:**
\frac{5.20}{450} = 0.011555 \, \text{CHF/g}
4. **Round to appropriate precision (if necessary):**
\approx 0.0116 \, \text{CHF/g}
