How to calculate the total cost of raspberries?

The total cost can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (T) is given by:

§§ T = (n \times p) + c §§

where:

  • § T § — total cost
  • § n § — number of raspberries
  • § p § — price per raspberry
  • § c § — packaging cost (optional)

This formula allows you to determine how much you will spend on raspberries, including any additional costs for packaging.

Example:

  • Number of Raspberries (§ n §): 10
  • Price per Raspberry (§ p §): $0.5
  • Packaging Cost (§ c §): $1

Total Cost:

§§ T = (10 \times 0.5) + 1 = 6 §§
