How to calculate the total cost of meal replacement shakes?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (T) is given by:

§§ T = (P \times S \times D) + A §§

where:

  • § T § — total cost
  • § P § — price per serving
  • § S § — servings per day
  • § D § — days in a month
  • § A § — additional costs

This formula allows you to calculate how much you will spend on meal replacement shakes in a month, taking into account the price per serving, how many servings you consume daily, the number of days in the month, and any extra costs you might incur.

Example:

  • Price per Serving (§ P §): $2.50
  • Servings per Day (§ S §): 3
  • Days in Month (§ D §): 30
  • Additional Costs (§ A §): $10

Total Cost:

§§ T = (2.50 \times 3 \times 30) + 10 = 235.00 §$
