Santa Claus has been experiencing some recent back pain and is unable to carry large bags of toys over his shoulders. As a result, he has decided to use FedEx to deliver many of his gifts this year. FedEx charges a flat rate of $2.50 plus $0.85 per pound. If the cost of sending gifts to the Jones's was $28.85, how much did their gifts weigh?

31 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can write the following formula to calculate the total cost of sending gifts:

Total cost of sending gifts=2.50+0.85x, where x is the weight of the gifts in pounds

Also, you know that the total cost of sending gifts is $28.85 and you can replace this value and solve for x:

28.85=2.50+0.85x

28.85-2.50=0.85x

26.35=0.85x

x=26.35/0.85

x=31

According to this, the answer is that the gifts weighed 31 pounds.
