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)

Your

Part A: The shipping of two pounds will be $1.70

Part B: Equation: c=0.79p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Charges to ship per pound horse supplies = $0.85

Part A:

Let,

c represent the total cost and p represent the number of pounds.

Total cost = Unit rate * Number of pounds

c = 0.85p

For 2 pounds,

Putting p=2

c = 0.85(2)

c = $1.70

The shipping of two pounds will be $1.70

Part B:

If the cost is reduced by $0.06, the new cost will be

New cost = 0.85 - 0.06 = $0.79

New total cost;

c = 0.79p

Hence,

Part A: The shipping of two pounds will be $1.70

Part B: Equation: c=0.79p

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
