The cost of mailing a package is c cents for the first b ounces and d cents for each additional ounce. find the cost, in cents, for mailing a package weighing f ounces if f is more than b
Huh. I thought that f was the total ounces, f>b. So, the cost is
cb+d(f-b)
$3.23
To find the cost of mailing a package weighing f ounces, where f is more than b, we need to consider two scenarios: the cost for the first b ounces and the cost for each additional ounce beyond b.
1. The cost for the first b ounces:
- This is given as c cents for the first b ounces, so the total cost for the first b ounces is c * b cents.
2. The cost for each additional ounce beyond b:
- Since f is more than b, we need to calculate the cost for each additional ounce beyond b. Since it costs d cents for each additional ounce, we can calculate the number of additional ounces by subtracting b from f: (f - b).
- The total cost for the additional ounces is then (d * (f - b)) cents.
To find the total cost, we add the cost for the first b ounces and the cost for the additional ounces:
Total cost = Cost for the first b ounces + Cost for additional ounces
= c * b + (d * (f - b)) cents
Therefore, the cost for mailing a package weighing f ounces, where f is more than b, can be calculated using the formula: Total cost = c * b + (d * (f - b)) cents.
f = cb + d(total ounces-b)
