Answer 10

it is simple, we have:
c=0.65*p

Answer 11

since we have to pay $0.65 for one pound

Answer 12

so you multiplied the amount of pounds (p) to 0.65 and you got the cost (c) so you have c=0.65p

Answer 13

Ok now what

Answer 14

so for part (A) you have 'p' = 2. and for part (B) it's the same equation but instead of 0.65 you have 0.05.

Answer 15

part B:
the new cost per pound is now:
0.65-0.05=0.60

Answer 16
