Lets say I can buy 200 of something for $20. but for $60, I can buy 750 of them. How can I quantify the money saved as cost per unit?

    As others mentioned, it’s simple division. But to properly compare, you have to take into consideration the “units” in which you’re dividing.

    E.g. if you’re buying crayons, you can compare the # of crayons to the price. But if you’re buying chicken breasts, you can’t really compare the # of chicken breasts, but rather the ounces (or, whatever measurement of weight).
