How much does it cost to ship 500 pounds?

Answer 1

• It costs $87.5 to ship 500 pounds.

Explanation:

• $35 = 200 pounds
• => 35/200 = 1 pound
• => 35/200 x 500 = 500 pounds
• => 7/40 x 500 = 500 pounds
• => 7/4 x 50 = 500 pounds
• => 7/2 x 25 = 500 pounds
• => 175/2 = 500 pounds
• => $87.5 = 500 pounds

Hence, it costs $87.5 to ship 500 pounds.
