How to calculate the total price of apricots?

The total price can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Price (T) is calculated as:

§§ T = Q \times P \times (1 - \frac{D}{100}) §§

where:

  • § T § — total price
  • § Q § — quantity of apricots (in kg or pieces)
  • § P § — price per unit (price per kg or per piece)
  • § D § — discount percentage (if any)

This formula allows you to find out how much you will pay for a certain quantity of apricots after applying any discounts.

Example:

  • Quantity (§ Q §): 10 kg
  • Price per unit (§ P §): $2
  • Discount (§ D §): 10%

Total Price:

§§ T = 10 \times 2 \times (1 - \frac{10}{100}) = 10 \times 2 \times 0.9 = 18 \text{ USD} §§
