How to calculate the total cost of Belgian endives?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (T) is given by:

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

where:

  • § T § — total cost
  • § Q § — quantity of Belgian endives (in kg or pieces)
  • § P § — price per kg or piece
  • § D § — discount percentage

This formula allows you to calculate the total amount you will pay after applying any discounts to the price of the Belgian endives.

Example:

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

Total Cost:

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