Afreight carrier charges $0.57 for a package weighing up to one ounce plus and additional $0.32 for each additional ounce or fraction of an ounce. a company is shipping a package weighing 224 grams. what is the cost to ship the package in dollars and cents?

1 gram equals about 0.035 ounces.

Multiply grams by the conversion to get total ounces:

224 x 0.035 = 7.84 total ounces.

The first ounce cost 0.57

The remaining amount, 7.84 - 1 = 6.84 ounces, round to 7 ounces cost 0.32 each.

7 * 0.32 = 2.24 for the remaining weight

Add the first ounce to the cost of the remaining weight for total price:

2.24 + 0.57 = $2.81 total.

We must convert 224 grams to ounces. 224 gr = 7.901 oz

Here's how the charge breaks down:

First oz.: $0.57

Subtracting 1 oz from 7.901 oz, we get 6.901 oz which will cost $0.32/oz to ship.

Thus, the total shipping cost will be

$0.57+ 7($0.32/oz) = $1.28. Note that I have rounded up 6.901 oz to 7 oz, since the shipping rate per ounce is $0.32 for each additional ounce or fraction of an ounce.

the correct answers i think are b. and d.
