Question

Carlos is mailing packages. Each small package costs him $2.40 to send. Each large package costs him $2.90. How much will it cost him to send 1 small package and 3 large packages?

Answer 1

Answer:

$11.10

Step-by-step explanation:

1 small package = $2.40

1 large package = $2.90

1 small package + 3 large packages.

2.40 + (3 × 2.90)

=2.40 + 8.70

=11.1

Answer 2

Answer:

$11.10

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be modeled by 2.4x+2.9y=c

x=small packages

y=large packages

c=total cost

By plugging in the values you get 2.4(1)+2.9(3)=c

2.4+8.7=c

c=11.1

Therefore the total cost is $11.10
