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 uses redex 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 is $28.85, how much did their gifts weigh?

31 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Fedex charges a flat rate of $2.50 plus $0.85 per pound and that the total cost of sending gifts to the Jones is $28.85. This can be mathematically expressed as:

2.50 + 0.85p = 28.85

where p = weight of the gift

So we have to solve the equation

2.50 + 0.85p = 28.85

0.85p = 28.85 - 2.50

0.85p = 26.35

p = 26.35/0.85

p = 31

Therefore the weight of the gift is 31 pounds

well first make sure that you are black. then rob a gas station and the kill the attendant

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
