Ups charges $7 for the first pound, and $0.20 for each additional pound. fedex
charges $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each additional pound. how many pounds
will it take for ups and fedex to cost the same? write an equation.
7p +0.20 = 5p +0.30
0.20p + 7 = 0.30p + 5
7 -0.20p = 5 - 0.30p0.20p - 7 = 0.30p - 5

$7 + $0.20p = $5 + $0.30p

Step-by-step explanation:

UPS charges $7 for the first pound and $0.20 for each additional pound.

FedEx charges $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each additional pound.

Let's take the number of  additional pounds that will make UPS and FedEx cost the same to be p.

$7 + $0.20p = $5 + $0.30p

$7 - $5 = $0.30p - $0.20p

$2 = $0.10p

p = = 20 additional pounds

you have 6 cupcakes

$30.32

step-by-step explanation:

65.00*.12=2.80

65.00-2.80=57.20

57.20*1.06=60.632

60.632/2=30.316
