Question

The graph below shows the amount that a company charges to ship packages of different weights.

To ship a 2 pound package, the company will charge $ ___________($10, $15, or $20?) and to ship a 3.5 pound package, the company will charge $______________($10, $15, or $20?)

Answer 1

To ship a 2 pound package , the company will charge $10 and to ship a 3.5 pound package , the company will charge $20

Explanation:

This question is on interpreting the information on the graph

In the first option, a 2 pound package lies on the second part of the charge line that charges $10. This value is similar to that charged for a package with 1.5 pounds too because it lies on same charge line.

In the second option, a package with 3.5 pounds will lie on the fourth part of the charge line that indicates $20. This value is similar to that charged a package with 4 pounds too because it lies on the same charge line.

From the graph, a parcel that weighs;

0 to 1 pound will be charged=$5

1.5 to 2 pounds will be charged=$10

2.5 to 3 pounds will be charged=$15

3.5 to 4 pounds will be charged=$20
