To calculate the Total Cost of the phone plan:
\[ TC = PP + (MB \times CL) \]
The total cost of a phone plan includes the price of the phone itself, the monthly bill, and the length of the contract. This calculation helps you understand the overall expense of owning a phone under a specific plan.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Multiply the MB by the CL:
\[ MB \times CL = 50 \times 24 = 1200 \]
Step 2: Add the result to the PP:
\[ TC = 500 + 1200 = 1700 \]
So, the Total Cost \( TC \) is $1700.
