How to calculate the total cost of a service?

The total cost of a service can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (T) is given by:

§§ T = S + (S \times \frac{F}{100}) + A §§

where:

  • § T § — total cost
  • § S § — service price
  • § F § — service fee percentage
  • § A § — additional fees

This formula allows you to determine the total amount you will pay for a service, taking into account the base price, the service fee, and any extra charges.

Example:

  • Service Price (§ S §): $100
  • Service Fee Percentage (§ F §): 10%
  • Additional Fees (§ A §): $5

Total Cost:

§§ T = 100 + (100 \times \frac{10}{100}) + 5 = 100 + 10 + 5 = 115 §§
