Candy's Sweets Company charges $1.15 per pound to ship candy. Part A: Write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of candy. Use your equation to determine the cost of shipping 2 pounds of candy. (6 points)
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)

Part A: c = 1.15p; The cost of shipping 2 pounds of candy is $2.30.

Part B: c = 0.9p

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

$1.15 --- 1 pound

$1 --- 1.15 pounds

Replace the money sign with c (since c represents the total cost) and replace pounds with p (since p represents pounds of candy)

c = 1.15p

We can then use this equation to find the c (cost) for 2p (2 pounds).

c = 1.15(2)

  = 2.30

Thus, the cost of shipping 2 pounds of candy is $2.30.

Part B:

$1.15 - $0.25 --- 1 pound

$0.90 --- 1 pound

$1 --- 0.9 pound

Replace the money sign with c (since c represents the total cost) and replace pounds with p (since p represents pounds of candy)

c = 0.9p

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
