How to calculate the total cost per pack of play mats?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (TC) is given by:

§§ TC = (Unit Price × Quantity) + Additional Costs §§

where:

  • § TC § — total cost per pack
  • § Unit Price § — price of a single play mat
  • § Quantity § — number of play mats in a pack
  • § Additional Costs § — any extra costs associated with the purchase (e.g., shipping, taxes)

This formula allows you to determine the overall expense incurred when purchasing a pack of play mats.

Example:

  • Unit Price (§ Unit Price §): $10
  • Quantity (§ Quantity §): 5
  • Additional Costs (§ Additional Costs §): $2

Total Cost:

§§ TC = (10 × 5) + 2 = 52 = $52 §§
