Cost per Pack of Batteries Calculator
Explanation
How to calculate the total cost of a pack of batteries?
The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:
Total Cost (C) is given by:
§§ C = (P \times N) \times (1 - \frac{D}{100}) §§
where:
- § C § — total cost of the pack
- § P § — price per battery
- § N § — number of batteries in the pack
- § D § — discount percentage
This formula allows you to find out how much you will pay for a pack of batteries after applying any discounts.
Example:
Price per Battery (§ P §): $1.50
Number of Batteries in Pack (§ N §): 4
Discount (§ D §): 10%
Total Cost:
§§ C = (1.50 \times 4) \times (1 - \frac{10}{100}) = 6.00 \times 0.90 = 5.40 §$
