Question

The cost to mail a package varies directly to the weight of the package. If a 14- ounce package costs $4.48 to mail, find the weight of a package that cost $8 to mail. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ok so first, we must figure out what 1 once costs. This can be done by divideing 4.48(cost) by 14(weight).

You should get 0.32.

Now just multiply by 8 and you should get your answer. This answer is 2.56.

Answer:

2.56

Another way this can be done is dividing 8(second weight) by 14(first weight) which will get you the difference. This is 0.5714 blah blah blah goes on for a long time. Now, take this number and multiply it by the 4.48(first cost). This should get you 2.56.

Answer:

2.56
