How to calculate the total cost per pack of mattress protectors?

The total cost per pack can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (TC) is given by:

§§ TC = (UP \times Q) \times (1 - \frac{D}{100}) + S §§

where:

  • § TC § — total cost per pack
  • § UP § — unit price (price per mattress protector)
  • § Q § — quantity of mattress protectors in a pack
  • § D § — discount percentage (if any)
  • § S § — shipping cost

This formula allows you to calculate the total cost of purchasing a pack of mattress protectors, factoring in any discounts and shipping fees.

Example:

  • Unit Price (§ UP §): $10
  • Quantity (§ Q §): 5
  • Discount (§ D §): 10%
  • Shipping Cost (§ S §): $5

Total Cost:

§§ TC = (10 \times 5) \times (1 - \frac{10}{100}) + 5 = 50 \times 0.9 + 5 = 45 + 5 = 50 §$
