Given the dynamic and static power consumption how does one determine the total power for the capacitive load

I get that the capacitive load is determined which is also indicated by this question:
$$\frac{Power}{Voltage^2 \times frequency} = Capacitive Load$$

However, I am not sure how power (which is given in Watts) is determined when given both the dynamic and static power consumption and unfortunately my textbook doesn't really give any suggestions either. My guess is power would be equal to either dynamic – static or dynamic + static, but I don't which one would be correct, if either are correct, and more importantly why that statement is correct.

Both dynamic power consumption and static power consumption are consumptions, so the total consumption is the sum of both. AFAIK for modern CPUs the dynamic power consumption dominates at practical frequencies.
