Question

A shipping company charges Jim $8.70 for packaging materials plus $1.75 per pound to ship an item. The total charge would be $17.45 without any discounts. If Jim has a coupon for 20% off of the per-pound shipping rate, how much will he save? round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary.
