Calculation Query

I am new to Apex developement. I have a page where there are three lookups.

I want to extract price of each lookup selected, multiply by quantity which I enter and add all of them to get Total cost.

 

Please help me on how can I achieve this.

 

Thank you

The answer depends a bit on where you're trying to do this. On a record detail page, or a visualforce page.  If all 3 lookups and the quantity field are fields on your object, you could make a forumla field with the name Total cost, without the need to write any code.

 

If you're working on a visualforce page, you may need to give us more info if you want a specific answer to your case.
