WHICH WORD?
price / cost / charge
The nouns price and cost both mean the amount of money you need to buy something. Price is generally used of objects which you can buy and sell: the price of eggs/cars + oil prices. Cost usually relates to services or processes and can also be used when you are talking about prices in general without mentioning an actual sum of money:
the cost of getting married + production costs + the cost of living.
Charge is the amount of money you are asked to pay for using something or for a service: electricity charges + bank/interest charges + There's no charge for parking here.
Price, cost and charge are also verbs: The tickets were priced at £325. + Our trip didn't cost very much. + How much do they charge for a pizza?
