@imqwerty

Answer 5

Can someone please help? :(

Answer 6

Part A: think it is: c=0.55*p
so for two pounds, we have:
c=0.55*2=1.10$
PArt B:c=(0.55-0.05)*p
so c=0.50*p

Answer 7

hey kaylee

Answer 8

just have to plug in the parts that it says is what like for instance if it would have said that the equation was going to be where each shipment was worth lets say $2.00 then you would put C= P($2.00)

Answer 9

Hey @imqwerty :)

Answer 10

im completely lost :/

Answer 11

ok so to ship 1 pound the company charges $0.55

so 1pound----->$0.55

multiply both sides by p

(1x p ) pounds------>$(0.55 x p)

p pounds---->$0.55p

Answer 12

don't be lost and feel free to ask if u get stuck somewhere

Answer 13

if u find this kinda solution confusing we can start over with a new approach

Answer 14

ok so lets start from the basics

Answer 15

okay :)

Answer 16

now we need to find the total cost c which the company will take to ship p pounds

Answer 17

okay so $0.55 is per pound

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

now we r shipping p pounds

for each pound they will take $0.55

to make our concepts clear we say that we are gonna put the p pounds in a sack and give them to the company to ship

now we slowly keep adingd 1pound of the pet supplies till the weight equals p pounds

ok till now?

Answer 20

ohh okay :)

Answer 21

tell this-
can we say that the number of 1 pound bags that we wuld have to add will be equal to p?

Answer 22

the cost to ship is $0.55/pound

the cost 'c' to ship p pounds will be \[c=p \times $0.55\]

we need to find the cost if p=2pounds

so we just put p=2 in our equation

\[c=2 \times 0.55\]
\[c=$1.1\]

Now they say that the company reduced the rate by $0.05

so the new rate will be $0.55-$0.05=$0.5

so 1 pound is being shipped for $0.5

p pounds will be shipped for p times more the cost to ship one pound :)

so total cost to ship 1 pound is-
\[c=p \times $0.5\]

I got it now!! :)
