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

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

answer: 16

step-by-step explanation: first you would add 6+6 which equals 12 then add 2+2 which equals 4. then add 12 + 4 which is 16.

hope this ^_^
