Gerald's Horse Supply Company charges $0.85 per pound to ship horse supplies. Part A: Write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of horse supplies. Use your equation to determine the cost of shipping 2 pounds of horse supplies. (6 points)
Part B: If the company reduces the cost to ship horse supplies by $0.06 per pound, write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of horse supplies with the reduced cost. (4 points)

Your

Part A: The shipping of two pounds will be $1.70

Part B: Equation: c=0.79p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Charges to ship per pound horse supplies = $0.85

Part A:

Let,

c represent the total cost and p represent the number of pounds.

Total cost = Unit rate * Number of pounds

c = 0.85p

For 2 pounds,

Putting p=2

c = 0.85(2)

c = $1.70

The shipping of two pounds will be $1.70

Part B:

If the cost is reduced by $0.06, the new cost will be

New cost = 0.85 - 0.06 = $0.79

New total cost;

c = 0.79p

Hence,

Part A: The shipping of two pounds will be $1.70

Part B: Equation: c=0.79p

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
