How to calculate the cost per pack of snacks?

To determine the total cost per pack of snacks, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost per Pack:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = (\text{Unit Price} \times \text{Quantity}) + \text{Additional Costs} §§

where:

  • § \text{Total Cost} § — total cost for the pack of snacks
  • § \text{Unit Price} § — price of a single unit of the snack
  • § \text{Quantity} § — number of units in a pack
  • § \text{Additional Costs} § — any extra costs associated with the purchase (e.g., shipping, taxes)

Example:

  • Unit Price (§ \text{Unit Price} §): $2.50
  • Quantity (§ \text{Quantity} §): 10
  • Additional Costs (§ \text{Additional Costs} §): $5.00

Total Cost Calculation:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = (2.50 \times 10) + 5.00 = 25.00 §§
