You can use the equation y=.1(x-1)+.35 to solve, where y is the cost in dollars and cents and x is the total number of boxes.

Y=.1(5-1)+.35
Y=.1(4)+.35
Y=.4+.35
Y=.75

The cost to ship is $0.75

Remember that 1 lb = 16 oz.  Thus, 5 lb = 80 oz.

The first oz costs $0.35 and the remaining (80-1) oz, or 79 oz, costs ($0.10/oz)(79 oz).  This comes to $0.35 + $7.90, or $8.25.

The shipping cost for this package will be $8.25.

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 108 meters. The length is 6 meters longer than twice the width, find the dimensions of
Natalka [10]

Answer:

width=16

length=38

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of a rectangle=2(length+width)

108/2=length+ width

54=length+ width

54-width=length

also:

length-6= 2×width

length=2width +6

now you can put the length we found, in the second equation:

54-width=2width+6

54-6=2width+width

48=3width

width=16

now do the exact same thing with one of the equations we created in the beginning.

either this:

54-width=length

or this:

length=2width +6

as the 1st one is simpler, I use that:

54-(16)=length

length=38

67 multiplied by 3 is 201, so there is 201 people in the age group 12-29. Also, 67% is approximately two thirds, and we can see that reflected in our answer.

I believe the answer would be 50.714 degrees, I'm not sure how they want you to round that though.
