How to calculate the total cost of construction paper packs?

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

Total Cost (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = P \times S \times N §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost
  • § P § — price per sheet
  • § S § — number of sheets per pack
  • § N § — number of packs

This formula allows you to calculate how much you will spend on construction paper based on the price of each sheet, how many sheets are in a pack, and how many packs you want to buy.

Example:

Price per Sheet (§ P §): $0.50

Sheets per Pack (§ S §): 100

Number of Packs (§ N §): 2

Total Cost:

§§ C = 0.50 \times 100 \times 2 = 100 \text{ USD} §§
