Question

The cost of sending an overnight package from Kansas City to Miami is $23.50 for a package weighing up to but not including 1

Answer 1

Answer:

For every pound that the package weight increases, the price of sending it increases by $3.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient 3.80 multiplies the variable x (package weight), so if x is 1 pound the cost increase $3.80, if x is 2 pound the cost increase 2*3.80 = $7.6, and so on.  Generally speaking, for every pound that the package weight increases the cost increases by $3.80.

Answer 2

Answer: For every pound that the package weight increases, the price of sending it increases by $3.80.

Step-by-step explanation: this is the coefficient, meaning it is multiplied by the variable of pounds. So we know the relationship between them is because for each pound the package increases the price also increases.
