The cost of having a package delivered has a base fee of $10.80. every pound over 5 lbs cost an additional $0.41 per pound. write an equation that expresses the cost c in terms of w, the total weight in pounds of a package weighing over 5 lbs.

The required equation is .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the cost of having a package delivered has a base fee of $10.80. Every pound over 5 lbs cost an additional $0.41 per pound.

Fixed cost is $10.80.

Variable cost is $0.41w, where w is the total weight in pounds of a package weighing over 5 lbs.

Total cost is the addition of fixed cost and variable cost.

Where, C is expresses the cost C in terms of w, the total weight in pounds of a package weighing over 5 lbs.

Therefore the required equation is .
