How to calculate the total cost of olive cans?

The total cost of purchasing olive cans can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (without tax) is:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = (\text{Olive Quantity} \times \text{Price per Unit}) + \text{Delivery Cost} §§

where:

  • § \text{Total Cost} § — total cost of the purchase
  • § \text{Olive Quantity} § — number of olive cans or kilograms
  • § \text{Price per Unit} § — price of each olive can or kilogram
  • § \text{Delivery Cost} § — cost of delivery

Example:

  • Olive Quantity: 10 cans
  • Price per Unit: $5
  • Delivery Cost: $2

Total Cost (without tax):

§§ \text{Total Cost} = (10 \times 5) + 2 = 52 = 52 \text{ USD} §§

Total Cost (with tax) is:

§§ \text{Total Cost with Tax} = \text{Total Cost} + \left(\text{Total Cost} \times \frac{\text{Tax}}{100}\right) §§

where:

  • § \text{Tax} § — tax percentage applicable to the purchase

Example:

If the tax rate is 10%:

Total Cost with Tax:

§§ \text{Total Cost with Tax} = 52 + \left(52 \times \frac{10}{100}\right) = 52 + 5.2 = 57.2 \text{ USD} §§
