ghs 36 pounds?
te: express the answer in dollars.cents)

Answer 1

$34.12

Explanation:

The expression for the total cost of a mail is given as

f(x) - 5.32 +0.80x, where x is the amount of weight in pounds

Given that x= 36 pounds we can find the cost of mailing 36 pounds of ect

hence let us put x=36 in the expression to find the total cost

f(x) =5.32 +0.80(36)

f(x) =5.32 +28.8

f(x) =34.12

Therefore the cost of mailing 36 pounds of ect is $34.12
