How to calculate the total cost for roller skates?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (TC) is given by:

§§ TC = (P × N) × (1 - D/100) + S §§

where:

  • § TC § — total cost
  • § P § — price per pair of roller skates
  • § N § — number of pairs
  • § D § — discount percentage
  • § S § — shipping cost

This formula allows you to calculate the total amount you will spend when purchasing roller skates, factoring in any discounts and shipping fees.

Example:

  • Price per Pair (§ P §): $50
  • Number of Pairs (§ N §): 2
  • Discount (§ D §): 10%
  • Shipping Cost (§ S §): $5

Total Cost:

§§ TC = (50 × 2) × (1 - 10/100) + 5 = 100 × 0.9 + 5 = 90 + 5 = 95 §$
