How to calculate the total cost of a pack of kids’ books?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = P \times N \times (1 - \frac{D}{100}) §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost
  • § P § — price per book
  • § N § — number of books in the pack
  • § D § — bulk purchase discount percentage

This formula allows you to find out how much you will spend on a pack of kids’ books after applying any discounts.

Example:

Price per Book (§ P §): $10

Number of Books in Pack (§ N §): 5

Bulk Purchase Discount (§ D §): 10%

Total Cost:

§§ C = 10 \times 5 \times (1 - \frac{10}{100}) = 50 \times 0.9 = 45 \text{ USD} §§
