17/16 is the answer since 1/2 is equal to 8/16. 8+9 is 17
The piecewise function that models the scenario is:
c(x) = $3.75*x + $5 if x < 6
c(x) = $3.25*x + $5 if x ≥ 6.

How to write a piecewise function?</h3>
A piecewise function is a function that behaves differently in different intervals of the domain, like this one, where the cost per box changes depending on the number of box.
The function in this case, if we define x as the number of boxes bought, is:
- c(x) = $3.75*x + $5 if x < 6
- c(x) = $3.25*x + $5 if x ≥ 6.
Where the cost per box changes for x equal or larger than 6.
