An online store charges $5 to ship one box and $10 to ship two boxes. Write an explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence to represent the amount the online store pays to ship n boxes. Use the explicit formula to determine how much the online store charges when shipping 11 items.

Write an explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence to represent the amount the online store pays to ship n boxes.

From what we know so far,

y = 5n

Use the explicit formula to determine how much the online store charges when shipping 11 items.

y = 5(11)

y = 55 dollars

Have a nice day!

$55

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not given much information in this problem, we know this must be a pretty simple sequence. If we make a sequence of Natural Numbers and match it up to the prices we've been given, we get

1,2,3,4...

5,10,15...

The price is increasing by five dollars for every "n", so our sequence is just 5n. Extrapolating this out gives us $55 for n=11

b.) 160 miles on a 5 gallons car

step-by-step explanation:

240/10=24 miles/gallon

160/5=32 miles/gallon

30/1=30 miles/gallon

168/6= 28 miles/gallon

32 miles/gallon is the most amount, so this is the best.

ok then what happened.
