2) $3
3) $4
4) $5

Answer 1

The cost of a 2-pound package is $6.88.

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out the cost of a 2-pound package, we can use the information given. We know that the first 3 ounces cost $1.95, and each additional ounce costs $0.17. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, the package weighs 32 ounces. To determine the cost of the package, we can calculate: $1.95 + $0.17(32 - 3) = $1.95 + $0.17(29) = $1.95 + $4.93 = $6.88.
