To find the cost per serving, we can calculate the cost per serving for both the 3 servings and the 10 servings and see if they are consistent.

  1. For 3 servings: \[ \text{Cost per serving} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of servings}} = \frac{18}{3} = 6 \]

  2. For 10 servings: \[ \text{Cost per serving} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of servings}} = \frac{60}{10} = 6 \]

In both cases, the cost per serving is consistent.

Thus, the cost per serving is: \[ \text{$}6 \text{ per serving} \]
