additional pound. Let p represent the number of pounds. How many pounds will it take for UPS and FedEx to cost the same? Explain.
Write an equation and solve (hint: since it is asking you about costing the same, think about what goes on either side of the equals sign).

Answer:

The answer is 20 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of pounds.

UPS charges $7 for the first pound, and $0.20 for each additional pound.

7+0.20p

FedEx charges $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each additional pound.

5+0.30p

To know the number of pounds it will take for UPS and FedEx to cost the same, we will equal both the equations.

7+0.20p=5+0.30p

=> 7-5=0.30p-0.20p

=> 2=0.10p

=> p = 20

Hence, it will take 20 pounds to make both equal.
