How to calculate the total cost per pack of garden tools?

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

Total Cost (TC) is given by:

§§ TC = (CPT × TPP) + AC §§

where:

  • § TC § — total cost of the pack
  • § CPT § — cost per tool
  • § TPP § — number of tools per pack
  • § AC § — additional costs (e.g., shipping)

This formula allows you to determine the overall expense associated with purchasing a pack of garden tools, factoring in both the individual tool costs and any extra charges.

Example:

  • Cost per Tool (§ CPT §): $10
  • Number of Tools per Pack (§ TPP §): 5
  • Additional Costs (§ AC §): $5

Total Cost:

§§ TC = (10 × 5) + 5 = 55 §$
