Candy's Sweets Company charges $1.15 per pound to ship candy. Part A: Write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of candy. Use your equation to determine the cost of shipping 2 pounds of candy. (6 points)
Part B: If the company reduces the cost to ship candy by $0.25 per pound, write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of candy with the reduced cost. (4 points)

Part A: c = 1.15p; The cost of shipping 2 pounds of candy is $2.30.

Part B: c = 0.9p

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

$1.15 --- 1 pound

$1 --- 1.15 pounds

Replace the money sign with c (since c represents the total cost) and replace pounds with p (since p represents pounds of candy)

c = 1.15p

We can then use this equation to find the c (cost) for 2p (2 pounds).

c = 1.15(2)

  = 2.30

Thus, the cost of shipping 2 pounds of candy is $2.30.

Part B:

$1.15 - $0.25 --- 1 pound

$0.90 --- 1 pound

$1 --- 0.9 pound

Replace the money sign with c (since c represents the total cost) and replace pounds with p (since p represents pounds of candy)

c = 0.9p

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.

step-by-step explanation: just trying to get points sorry : (

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice

p.s.   i'll be on vacation from friday, dec 22 to jan 2, 2019. have a great new year!
