How to calculate the total cost for one box of frozen pizza?

To find out how much you will spend on frozen pizza, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost (T) is calculated as:

§§ T = (P \times Q) + (P \times Q \times \frac{T_x}{100}) + S §§

where:

  • § T § — total cost
  • § P § — price per box of pizza
  • § Q § — number of boxes
  • § T_x § — tax percentage
  • § S § — shipping cost

This formula allows you to account for the base price of the pizzas, any applicable taxes, and shipping fees.

Example:

  • Price per Box (§ P §): $10
  • Number of Boxes (§ Q §): 2
  • Tax (§ T_x §): 5%
  • Shipping (§ S §): $2

Total Cost:

§§ T = (10 \times 2) + (10 \times 2 \times \frac{5}{100}) + 2 = 20 + 1 + 2 = 23 $$
