How to calculate the total cost per pack of baseball gear?

To find the total cost per pack, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = (I \times P) + A §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost per pack
  • § I § — number of items in the pack
  • § P § — cost per item
  • § A § — additional costs (such as shipping, taxes, etc.)

This formula allows you to calculate the total expenditure for a pack of baseball gear by multiplying the number of items by the cost of each item and then adding any additional costs.

Example:

Number of Items in Pack (§ I §): 5

Cost per Item (§ P §): $10

Additional Costs (§ A §): $2

Total Cost:

§§ C = (5 \times 10) + 2 = 52 = $52 §§
