Gerald's Horse Supply Company charges $0.85 per pound to ship horse supplies. Part A: Write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of horse supplies. Use your equation to determine the cost of shipping 2 pounds of horse supplies. (6 points)
Part B: If the company reduces the cost to ship horse supplies by $0.06 per pound, write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of horse supplies with the reduced cost. (4 points)

c = $0.85p ; c = $1.7 ; c = 0.79p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cost per pound of shipping horse supply (c) = $0.85

Number of pounds shipped = p

The total shipping cost, c can be modeled thus ;

Total cost = cost per pound * Number of pounds

c = $0.85p

Total cost for shipping 2 pounds of horse supply

c = $0.85 * 2

c = $1.7

B.)

If price per pound is reduced by $0.06

New price per pound = $0.85 - $0.06 = $0.79

Total cost, c becomes

c = 0.79p

the best buy, is the 4- kilogram bag of lollipops for $18.40.

step-by-step explanation:

i found my answer by dividing the cost of each bag by their respective weights.

14.88 divided by 2 = 7.44

17.29 divided by 3 = 5.77

18.4 divided by 4 = 4.6

24.4 divided by 5 = 4.88

by this, i found that the 4 kilo bag is the best buy.

(3x-8) or (3x+8)
