How to calculate the total cost of art supplies per pack?

To find the total cost of art supplies, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = \text{Items per Pack} \times \text{Price per Item} §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost of the pack
  • § \text{Items per Pack} § — number of items in the pack
  • § \text{Price per Item} § — cost of each individual item

This formula allows you to quickly determine how much you will spend on a pack of art supplies based on the number of items it contains and the price of each item.

Example:

If you have:

  • Items per Pack: 10
  • Price per Item: $2

Then the total cost would be:

§§ C = 10 \times 2 = 20 \text{ USD} §§
