How to calculate the total cost of measuring cups?

The total cost can be calculated using a straightforward formula:

Total Cost (T) is given by:

§§ T = P \times Q §§

where:

  • § T § — total cost
  • § P § — price per measuring cup
  • § Q § — quantity of measuring cups

This formula allows you to find out how much you will spend based on the price of each measuring cup and the number of cups you want to buy.

Example:

Price per Measuring Cup (§ P §): $2

Number of Measuring Cups (§ Q §): 5

Total Cost:

§§ T = 2 \times 5 = 10 §$
