How to calculate the total cost of eggs?

The total cost of purchasing eggs can be calculated using a straightforward formula:

Total Cost (T) is given by:

§§ T = P \times D §§

where:

  • § T § — total cost
  • § P § — price per dozen eggs
  • § D § — number of dozens

This formula allows you to find out how much you will spend based on the price of a dozen eggs and the quantity you wish to buy.

Example:

Price per Dozen Eggs (§ P §): $12

Number of Dozens (§ D §): 3

Total Cost:

§§ T = 12 \times 3 = 36 §$
