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)

A. c = 0.85p

ii. The cost of shipping 2 pounds of horse supplies is $1.7

B. c = $0.79p

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost to ship horse supplies = $0.85 per pound.

A. Total cost, c, to ship p pounds of horse supplies can be determined by;

c = 0.85 x p

  = 0.85 p

c = 0.85p

Thus, the cost of shipping 2 pounds (p = 2) of horse supplies would be;

c = 0.85 x 2

  = 1.7

c = $1.7

The cost of shipping 2 pounds of horse supplies is $1.7

B. New cost of shipping horse supplies = $0.85 = $0.06

                                               = $0.79

The cost, c, to ship p pounds of horse supplies with the reduced cost would be;

c = $0.79 x p

 = $0.79 p

c = $0.79p
