Larry's Launderette charges $0.75 per pound of laundry that is dropped off to be cleaned, but that rate falls to $0.60 per pound for all jobs that weigh 10 pounds or more. If Maureen drops off eight pounds of laundry on Monday and 12 pounds more on Thursday, what will the total charge for these two loads be?

The first load is under 10 pounds right? So that gets the 75 cent rate. The second load is over 10 pounds, so it gets the 60 cent rate. Get the cost for each load, then add them and that is the total cost.
