Gerald's Horse Supply Company charges $0.85 per pound to ship horse supplies. Part A: Write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of horse supplies. Use your equation to determine the cost of shipping 2 pounds of horse supplies. (6 points)
Part B: If the company reduces the cost to ship horse supplies by $0.06 per pound, write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of horse supplies with the reduced cost. (4 points)

c = $0.85p ; c = $1.7 ; c = 0.79p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cost per pound for shipping (c) = $0.85

Number of pound of horse supply shipped = p

Total shipping cost = c

Thus, total shipping cost can be modeled as ;

Total shipping cost = ( cost per pound of shipping * number of pounds of supply shipped)

c = $0.85 * p ; c = $0.85p

Hence, total cost of shipping 2 pounds of horse supply ;

Number of pounds, p = 2

c = 0.85*2

c = $1.7

B.)

Shipping price per pound is reduced by $0.06

New shipping cost per pound = $0.85 - $0.06 = $0.79

Totak cost, c

c = 0.79p
