How to calculate the total cost of strawberries?

The total cost of strawberries can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = (W \times P) \times (1 - \frac{D}{100}) + D_c §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost
  • § W § — weight of strawberries in kilograms
  • § P § — price per kilogram
  • § D § — discount percentage
  • § D_c § — delivery cost

This formula takes into account the weight of the strawberries, the price per kilogram, any applicable discounts, and the delivery cost.

Example:

  • Weight of Strawberries (§ W §): 2 kg
  • Price per kg (§ P §): $5
  • Discount (§ D §): 10%
  • Delivery Cost (§ D_c §): $2

Total Cost:

§§ C = (2 \times 5) \times (1 - \frac{10}{100}) + 2 = 10 \times 0.9 + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11 \text{ dollars} §§
