Trina's toy company charges $0.85 per pound to ship toys.
part a: write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of toys. use your equation to determine the cost of shipping 2 pounds of toys. (6 points)
part b: if the company reduces the cost to ship toys by 0.05 per pound, write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of toys with the reduced cost.

Answer to Part A- The equation would be c=0.85p. First we times 0.85 by 2 which equals 1.70 . So the cost is 1.74$.

Answer to Part B- The equation would be c=0.80p.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer to Part A- The equation would be c=0.85p. First we times 0.85 by 2 which equals 1.70 . So the cost is 1.74$.

Answer to Part B- The equation would be c=0.80p.

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
