Answer
Mathematical Expression for Calculating Cost of Purchase with Multiple Units
To calculate the cost of a purchase when a customer buys more than one unit of a product, such as multiple handbags, you can use the following pseudocode mathematical expression:
total_cost = unit_price * quantity
In this expression:
unit_price
represents the price of one unit of the product.quantity
represents the number of units purchased by the customer.total_cost
represents the total cost of the purchase.
The mathematical expression simply multiplies the unit price by the quantity purchased to determine the total cost of the purchase.
This pseudocode provides a concise and clear representation of how to calculate the cost of a purchase with multiple units of a product in Other Tools, enabling efficient implementation in programming environments.
