How to calculate the total cost of vegan cheese?

To find out how much you will pay for one or more packs of vegan cheese, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost Calculation:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = ( \text{Unit Price} \times \text{Quantity} ) - \text{Discount} + \text{Tax} §§

where:

  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the final amount you will pay
  • § \text{Unit Price} § — the price of one pack of vegan cheese
  • § \text{Quantity} § — the number of packs you want to buy
  • § \text{Discount} § — the total discount applied (if any)
  • § \text{Tax} § — the total tax applied (if any)

Example:

  1. Unit Price (§ \text{Unit Price} §): $10
  2. Quantity (§ \text{Quantity} §): 3
  3. Discount (§ \text{Discount} §): 10% (which is $3)
  4. Tax (§ \text{Tax} §): 5% (which is $0.35)

Calculation Steps:

  1. Calculate the total cost before discount and tax:
    • Total Cost Before Discount = $10 × 3 = $30
  2. Apply the discount:
    • Discount Amount = 10% of $30 = $3
    • Total After Discount = $30 - $3 = $27
  3. Apply the tax:
    • Tax Amount = 5% of $27 = $1.35
    • Final Total Cost = $27 + $1.35 = $28.35
