How to calculate the total cost of purchasing coconuts?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (TC) is given by:

§§ TC = (C \times P) + S + T §§

where:

  • § TC § — total cost
  • § C § — number of coconuts
  • § P § — price per coconut
  • § S § — shipping cost
  • § T § — taxes and fees

This formula allows you to calculate the overall expense incurred when buying coconuts, taking into account all relevant costs.

Example:

  • Number of Coconuts (§ C §): 10
  • Price per Coconut (§ P §): $2
  • Shipping Cost (§ S §): $5
  • Taxes and Fees (§ T §): $1

Total Cost:

§§ TC = (10 \times 2) + 5 + 1 = 20 + 5 + 1 = 26 §$
