Name:Date:6. The table shows the postage charges for sending letters to Country A.How much does it cost to send a letter weighing 80 ounces to Country A?First 30 Ounces60For Every Additional 10 Ounces35

Answer 1

The first 30 ounces costs 60¢.

For every additional 10 ounces the cost increases in 35¢.

From the given 80 ounces, the first 30 costs 60¢ and the other 50 ounces, by considering it is 5 times 10 ounces, cost 5*(35¢) = 175¢.

Then, the total cost is:

total = 60¢ + 175¢ = 235¢
