This formula divides the total printing costs by the number of pages to give you the cost per printed page.
Example Calculation
If you're printing 500 pages and the total ink cost is $50, the total paper cost is $25, and there are $5 in additional costs, the calculation would be:
Cost Per Page = ($50 + $25 + $5) / 500 = $80 / 500 = $0.16 per page
