Answer 1

Jerry will be charged $33.29 for shipping.

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the total weight of the items:

Since the price per pound is constant, we can start by finding the total weights of the items:

Total weight = 5.7 + 1.6 + 2.1 + 4.3

Total weight = 7.3 + 6.4

Total weight = 13.7

Thus, the total weight of the items is 13.7 lbs.

Step 2: Find the shipping cost:

Since Jerry pays $2.43 per pound, we can now determine the shipping cost by multiplying $2.43 by 13.7:

Shipping cost = 2.43 * 13.7

Shipping cost = 33.291

Shipping cost = 33.29

Thus, Jerry will be charged $33.29 for shipping.
