How to calculate the total cost of utensils?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (TC) is given by:

§§ TC = (U \times P) + S §§

where:

  • § TC § — total cost
  • § U § — number of utensils
  • § P § — price per unit
  • § S § — shipping cost

This formula allows you to calculate the total amount you will spend when purchasing a specific number of utensils, taking into account both the unit price and any additional shipping fees.

Example:

Number of Utensils (§ U §): 5

Price per Unit (§ P §): $10

Shipping Cost (§ S §): $5

Total Cost:

§§ TC = (5 \times 10) + 5 = 55 §$
