How to calculate the total cost of a pack of beads?

To find the total cost of a pack of beads, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost (T) is calculated as:

§§ T = (P \times N) + A §§

where:

  • § T § — total cost
  • § P § — price per bead
  • § N § — number of beads in the pack
  • § A § — additional costs

This formula allows you to calculate the total amount you will spend on a pack of beads, taking into account both the cost of the beads themselves and any extra expenses.

Example:

Price per Bead (§ P §): $0.10

Number of Beads in Pack (§ N §): 100

Additional Costs (§ A §): $5

Total Cost:

§§ T = (0.10 \times 100) + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15 §$
