How do you find the total cost for math? - Answers

Hmm... Well, if you were wanting to see what your total cost for something is, you would A: Have to add any costs from your budget for the item and B: Find your gross price. For example- I buy a coffee pot from Wal-mart. it is priced $10.00, it cost me $3.00 in gas to drive to Wal-mart and back, and my time is worth at least $5.00 an hour,(it took me a total of 1 hour to drive there, park, go in, find coffee-pot, check-out and drive home) so, now my coffee-pot has a total cost of 10+3+5=$18.00. Does that help?The reverse of that would be gross profit versus net profit: A company makes $100.00 for a cleaning service. that is their:Gross profit. They then deduct cleaning supplies ($5.00) from that gross profit, now they are at $95.00, then they deduct wages for worker ($25.00) from that gross profit, now they are at $70.00. So their NET profit from that cleaning service is now $70.00.
