johnny want to ship a package to his friend. a shipping company charges 2.49 for the 1st lb and 1.24 for ea. additional lb. if it costs johnny 11.17 to ship the package how much did his package weigh?!?!?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 lbs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you how did you do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11.17 - 2.49 (1 lb) = 8.68 ... 8.68 divided by 1.24 (additional lbs) = 7 7 + 1 = 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANK YOU <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how i could write it in an equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 2.49 + 1.25x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x being the# of additional lbs so when you solve you would plug in 11.17 for y and solve for x
