How to calculate the total cost per pack of buttons?

The total cost of a pack of buttons can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = (P \times N) + A §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost of the pack
  • § P § — price per button
  • § N § — number of buttons in the pack
  • § A § — additional costs (if any)

This formula allows you to calculate the total expenditure required to purchase a specific number of buttons, taking into account any extra costs that may be associated with the purchase.

Example:

Price per Button (§ P §): $0.50

Number of Buttons in Pack (§ N §): 100

Additional Costs (§ A §): $5.00

Total Cost:

§§ C = (0.50 \times 100) + 5 = 50 + 5 = 55 §$
