Question

Comp-U-Fast charges $4 plus $0.75 per pound for shipping. Megachine charges $10 plus $0.50 per pound for shipping.

Answer 1

At 12 pounds of shipping, the total shipping cost for both companies would be the same

What number of pounds of shipping would make the total cost of shipping be the same for both companies?

In the first place, the total cost of each company can be determined as the fixed charge plus the cost per pound of shipping multiplied by the number of pounds shipped

Total cost=fixed charge+(x*cost per pound)

Comp-U-Fast:

Total cost=4+0.75x

Megachine:

total cost=10+0.50x

For both companies to achieve the same pounds of shipping, their costs must be equated

4+0.75x=10+0.50x'

0.75x-0.50x=10-4

0.25x=6

x=6/0.25

x=12 pounds of shipping
