Your question is so general it difficult to give more than a general pointer. What I would do is: 1. Start off an html page upto the point you want to display the data. 2. Do a sql select statement to get all the records. 3. Loop through all the records, adding up the cost column. 4. Display the result on the html page. 5. Finish up of the html page.
I'm not sure what you are expecting in the way of an answer here but to do this you need knowledge of HTML, SQL, a database and a programming language suitable for generating web pages (e.g. PHP).
