How to calculate the total price of an ice cream cone?

To find out how much you will pay for an ice cream cone, you can use the following formula:

Total Price (T) is calculated as:

§§ T = (scoopPrice \times scoopCount) + conePrice §§

where:

  • § T § — total price of the ice cream cone
  • § scoopPrice § — price per scoop of ice cream
  • § scoopCount § — number of scoops you want
  • § conePrice § — price of the cone itself

This formula allows you to calculate the total cost by multiplying the price of each scoop by the number of scoops and then adding the cost of the cone.

Example:

  • Price per Scoop (§ scoopPrice §): $2
  • Price per Cone (§ conePrice §): $1
  • Number of Scoops (§ scoopCount §): 3

Total Price:

§§ T = (2 \times 3) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7 §$
