The equation is represented as y = $0.65 + $0.95x. Option B
From the information given, we have that;
- x represents the number of packages delivered
- y is the total cost of mailing packages
Then we can say that since,
$6.95 is the base fee charged by the mail courier, which is a fixed cost regardless of the number of packages.
$9.50 represents the cost per package being delivered, and it's multiplied by the number of packages (x) being delivered.
The equation is expressed as;
y = $0.65 + $0.95x
