Question

The table below shows the cost of mailing packages that weigh different amounts. Cost of Mailing Packages Package Weight (ounces) Cost Up to 1.00 $1.17 1.01 to 2.00 $1.34 2.01 to 3.00 $1.51 3.01 to 4.00 $1.68 4.01 to 5.00 $1.85 If the cost continues to increase as shown in the table, how much will it cost to mail a package that weighs exactly 11 ounces? F $2.87 G $4.87 H $3.04 J $5.87

Answer 1

The last one was about 3.04 so the next one should be 0.45

Answer 2

To find the mailing cost for an 11-ounce package, calculate the cost for 10 additional ounces at $0.17 each, which is $1.70, and add it to the first ounce cost of $1.17. The total mailing cost is $2.87.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost of mailing a package that weighs exactly 11 ounces based on the provided table, we first need to identify the pattern in the cost increase. We see that the cost increases by $0.17 for each additional ounce over one ounce. The first ounce costs $1.17, and then the cost increases in increments of $0.17:

• 
  
• 1.01 to 2.00 ounces costs $1.34, which is $1.17 + $0.17.
• 
  
• 2.01 to 3.00 ounces costs $1.51, which is $1.34 + $0.17.
• 
  
• This pattern continues, with each additional ounce adding $0.17 to the cost.

To find the cost for an 11-ounce package, we calculate the cost for the additional ounces beyond the first:

Cost for 10 additional ounces = 10 * $0.17 = $1.70

Then, we add this to the cost of the first ounce:

Total cost = First ounce cost + Additional ounces cost
Total cost = $1.17 + $1.70
Total cost = $2.87

Therefore, the correct answer is $2.87, which corresponds to answer choice F.
