How to calculate the total cost of pinatas?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (TC) is given by:

§§ TC = (PC \times Q) + AC §§

where:

  • § TC § — total cost
  • § PC § — cost of a single pinata
  • § Q § — number of pinatas
  • § AC § — additional costs (e.g., shipping, taxes)

This formula allows you to calculate how much you will spend in total when purchasing a specified number of pinatas, taking into account any extra expenses.

Example:

Cost of a single pinata (§ PC §): $10

Number of pinatas (§ Q §): 5

Additional costs (§ AC §): $15

Total Cost:

§§ TC = (10 \times 5) + 15 = 65 §$
