How to calculate the cost per party hat?

The cost per party hat can be calculated using the following formula:

Cost per Hat (C) is given by:

§§ C = \frac{T + S + X}{N} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per party hat
  • § T § — total cost (price of hats)
  • § S § — shipping cost
  • § X § — taxes
  • § N § — number of hats

This formula allows you to determine how much each party hat costs when you factor in all associated expenses.

Example:

  • Total Cost (§ T §): $100
  • Shipping Cost (§ S §): $10
  • Taxes (§ X §): $5
  • Number of Hats (§ N §): 5

Cost per Hat:

§§ C = \frac{100 + 10 + 5}{5} = \frac{115}{5} = 23.00 §$
