Answer in brief
A blended price is a single figure that averages a model’s input and output prices at a fixed mix, commonly three to one.
Blended price in practice
One million divided by it gives blended tokens per dollar. It lets a table be sorted by one column.
It is right only for work near the assumed mix. Nobody is billed it.
