How to calculate the total cost of stamps?

The total cost of stamps can be calculated using a straightforward formula:

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = N \times P §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost
  • § N § — number of stamps
  • § P § — price per stamp

This formula allows you to find out how much you will spend in total when purchasing a certain number of stamps at a specified price per stamp.

Example:

Number of Stamps (§ N §): 10

Price per Stamp (§ P §): £0.50

Total Cost:

§§ C = 10 \times 0.50 = £5.00 §§
