An empty box has a mass of 2.75 kilograms. An electronics store is packing 5 identical laptops in the shipping box. Each laptop has a mass of 1.65. The cost to ship the box was $40.00 for the first 5 kilograms and $3.15 for each kilograms over 5 kilograms. What was the cost to ship the packed box?

Respuesta :

To find the cost to ship the box, you will find the total mass and then calculate the cost based on your total mass.

1.  2.75 + (5 x 1.65) = 11 kg (total mass)

2.  $40 (for the first 5 kg) + $3.15 x 6 (for the remaining 6 kg) = $58.90

The cost to ship the box is $58.90.
