Default Ask For Filed - Use it in calculations

Word 2007 - I'd like to ask for a field then use it in calculations and then
have the calculated fields sum. For example:

Ask/prompt for - how many emps do you have? answer 5

blue cost 2 * 5 = $10.00
red cost 4 * 5 = $20.00
white cost 3 * 5 = $15.00

Total cost $$45.00

Need to do this in word because I'm going to wrap it around a bounch of text.

I cant figure out how to ask for the emp and/or use it in a calculation.

Hope this isn't a dumb - can't do that - question?

Thanks
John
