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

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

Total Cost (T) is calculated as:

§§ T = (P \times C) + A §§

where:

  • § T § — total cost
  • § P § — price per candy
  • § C § — number of candies in the pack
  • § A § — additional costs (e.g., shipping)

This formula allows you to calculate how much you will spend on a pack of candy, taking into account both the price of each candy and any extra expenses.

Example:

Price per Candy (§ P §): $0.50

Number of Candies in Pack (§ C §): 10

Additional Costs (§ A §): $2.00

Total Cost:

§§ T = (0.50 \times 10) + 2 = 5.00 §§
