How to calculate the total cost for multiple pairs of boots?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (TC) is given by:

§§ TC = (P \times Q) \times (1 - D/100) \times (1 + T/100) §§

where:

  • § TC § — total cost
  • § P § — price per pair of boots
  • § Q § — quantity of pairs
  • § D § — discount percentage
  • § T § — tax percentage

This formula allows you to calculate the total amount you will pay after applying any discounts and adding taxes.

Example:

Price per Pair (§ P §): $100

Quantity of Pairs (§ Q §): 2

Discount (§ D §): 10%

Tax (§ T §): 5%

Total Cost:

§§ TC = (100 \times 2) \times (1 - 10/100) \times (1 + 5/100) = 190 §$
