How to calculate the total cost for business licenses?

The total cost for obtaining business licenses can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (TC) is calculated as:

§§ TC = (N \times C) \times (1 - D/100) \times (1 + T/100) §§

where:

  • § TC § — total cost
  • § N § — number of licenses
  • § C § — cost per license
  • § D § — discount percentage
  • § T § — tax percentage

This formula allows you to determine the total amount you will need to pay after applying any discounts and adding taxes.

Example:

  • Number of Licenses (§ N §): 5
  • Cost per License (§ C §): $100
  • Discount (§ D §): 10%
  • Tax (§ T §): 5%

Total Cost Calculation:

§§ TC = (5 \times 100) \times (1 - 10/100) \times (1 + 5/100) = 500 \times 0.9 \times 1.05 = 472.50 §$
