How to calculate the total cost per pack of paper?

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

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = (P \times S) \times (1 + \frac{T}{100}) + H §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost of the pack of paper
  • § P § — price per sheet
  • § S § — number of sheets in a pack
  • § T § — tax percentage
  • § H § — shipping cost

This formula takes into account the price per sheet, the total number of sheets in the pack, any applicable taxes, and shipping costs to provide the final total cost.

Example:

  • Price per Sheet (§ P §): $0.10
  • Sheets per Pack (§ S §): 500
  • Tax (§ T §): 5%
  • Shipping Cost (§ H §): $10

Total Cost:

§§ C = (0.10 \times 500) \times (1 + \frac{5}{100}) + 10 = 50 \times 1.05 + 10 = 52.50 §§
