How to calculate the total cost of tea bags?

The total cost of purchasing tea bags can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (TC) is given by:

§§ TC = (n \times p) + c - d §§

where:

  • § TC § — total cost
  • § n § — number of tea bags
  • § p § — price per tea bag
  • § c § — packaging cost
  • § d § — discount amount

Where the discount amount (d) can be calculated as:

§§ d = \frac{(n \times p + c) \times \text{discount}}{100} §§

Example:

  • Number of Tea Bags (§ n §): 10
  • Price per Bag (§ p §): $0.50
  • Packaging Cost (§ c §): $2.00
  • Discount (§ discount §): 10%

Calculating the total cost:

  1. Calculate the total before discount:

    • Total before discount = (10 × 0.50) + 2 = $5.00 + $2.00 = $7.00

  2. Calculate the discount amount:

    • Discount amount = (7.00 × 10) / 100 = $0.70

  3. Calculate the final total cost:

    • Total Cost = 7.00 - 0.70 = $6.30
