How to calculate the total cost per pack of ribbon?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = P \times L \times N §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost
  • § P § — price per meter of ribbon
  • § L § — length of ribbon in each pack (in meters)
  • § N § — number of packs

This formula allows you to find out how much you will spend on ribbon based on the price per meter, the length of each pack, and how many packs you want to buy.

Example:

Price per Meter (§ P §): $2

Length per Pack (§ L §): 50 meters

Number of Packs (§ N §): 3

Total Cost:

§§ C = 2 \times 50 \times 3 = 300 §$
