1. What is the Bulk Price Calculator?

The Bulk Product Price Calculator helps businesses and consumers calculate the total price of bulk purchases after applying quantity discounts in South African Rand (ZAR).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Unit\_price \) — Price per single unit in ZAR
• \( Quantity \) — Number of units purchased
• \( Discount\_rate \) — Decimal representing discount percentage (e.g., 0.1 for 10%)

Explanation: The equation calculates the total price after applying the specified discount rate to the bulk purchase.

3. Importance of Bulk Pricing

Details: Bulk pricing is essential for businesses to offer competitive prices while maintaining profitability, and helps customers save money on large purchases.
