1.Shipping charges are often based on a formula that offers a lower charge per pound as the size of the shipment is increased. Suppose shipping charges are as follows: $2.20 per pound if the weight does not exceed 50 lb; $2.10 per pound if the weight is more than 50 lb but does not exceed 200 lb; $2.05 per pound if the weight is more than 200 lb.
a. Find a mathematical model expressing the total cost of a shipment as a function of its weight.
