D. if the weight is greater than 16 ounces,the shipping rate is $.0.35 per ounce, plus $1.60
Answer:
C. Shipping at the second rate will always cost $1.60 more than shipping at the first rate
Explanation:
The shipping rates are :
C(w) = 0.45w
Second rate :
C(w) = 0.35w + 1.6
For the first shipping rate, it only has a rate of change value which varies based on the weight of item to be shipped, C(w) = 0.45w.
However, the second shipping rate includes a fixed rate and rate based on the weight of item. This fixed rate implies that regardless of the weight of item to be shipped, a fixed fee is charged which is $1.60. This means that the shipping fee at the secind rate will always be $1.60 greater than thebfirst shipping rate.
