PLEASE!!! I NEED some help on these three questions. They all have to do with this: Pick one item to sell (I chose rings). You have been contacted by a customer in Alaska who wants to purchase several of these items and wants you to ship the items to her. You have already established the cost per item and you will only charge the customer $5 to ship these items to Alaska. Suppose another company sells the same item but charges half of your price (I charge $40 for one). However, if the customer buys from this company, she will be charged $20 in shipping costs.
a. Write two equations to represent the customer’s total cost based on how many items she buys from each of the two sellers—you and the other company.
d. Solve the system of equations from part a. What method did you choose to solve the system? Why?
e. Explain what your solution for part d means in terms of the situation.
