How to calculate the total cost of kids’ helmets?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (TC) is calculated as:

§§ TC = (P \times Q) - D + T §§

where:

  • § TC § — total cost
  • § P § — price per helmet
  • § Q § — quantity of helmets
  • § D § — discount amount
  • § T § — tax amount

Where:

  • Discount Amount (D) can be calculated as:

    §§ D = \frac{(P \times Q) \times d}{100} §§

    where:

    • § d § — discount percentage

  • Tax Amount (T) can be calculated as:

    §§ T = \frac{(P \times Q - D) \times t}{100} §§

    where:

    • § t § — tax percentage

Example:

  1. Price per Helmet (P): $50
  2. Quantity of Helmets (Q): 3
  3. Discount (d): 10%
  4. Tax (t): 5%

Calculating the Total Cost:

  1. Calculate the total price before discount:

    • Total Price = P × Q = 50 × 3 = $150

  2. Calculate the discount amount:

    • Discount Amount (D) = (150 × 10) / 100 = $15

  3. Calculate the taxable amount:

    • Taxable Amount = Total Price - Discount Amount = 150 - 15 = $135

  4. Calculate the tax amount:

    • Tax Amount (T) = (135 × 5) / 100 = $6.75

  5. Finally, calculate the total cost:

    • Total Cost (TC) = 150 - 15 + 6.75 = $141.75
