Patty's pet company charges $0.55 per pound to ship pet supplies.

part a: write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of pet supplies. use your equation to determine the cost of shipping 2 pounds of pet supplies. (6 points)
part b: if the company reduces the cost to ship pet supplies by 0.05 per pound, write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of pet supplies with the reduced cost. (4 points)

part A $1.10

part B $1.00

Step-by-step explanation:

c = 0.55p when p = 2 you should get a total cost of 1.10 $

since the original price of shipping one pound of pet supplies was 0.55 than you subtract 0.05 to get 0.50 then you multiply 0.50p to get a final cost of 1.00 for shipping

s

step-by-step explanation:

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
