Part B: If the company reduces the cost to ship candy by $0.25 per pound, write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of candy with the reduced cost. (4 points)

Your

Part A:

c = 1.15p

c(2) = $2.30

Part B:

c = 0.90p

Part B:

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear Models

Candy's Sweets Company charges $1.15 per pound to ship candy.  This represents a proportional relationship between the pounds of candy and the cost.

Part A: If each pound costs $1.15, then p pounds cost $1.15p. Then the equation of the cost c is:

c = 1.15p

The cost of shipping p=2 pounds of candy is:

c = 1.15*2 = 2.30

c = $2.30

Part B: When the company reduces the cost by $0.25 per pound, the new unit cost is $1.15 - $0.25 = $0.90 per pound.

The new equation to determine the total cost for p pounds of candy is:

c = 0.90p

∞ this is your sign

it is a. 4.2 because 7.6-3.4 gets the remaining length of 4.2. i might be wrong but i am pretty sure this is the answer.
