Your competitor, Windy Kites, sells the same kites, but charges half of your price. They charge a flat rate of $20 for shipping

To fill in the table and find the customer costs from each seller, we need to calculate the total cost for each option.
Let's assume the customer wants to purchase 5 kites.
For Kites-R-Fun:
Cost per kite = $4
Flat rate for shipping = $8
Total cost of kites = Cost per kite * Number of kites = $4 * 5 = $20
Total shipping cost = Flat rate for shipping = $8
Total cost for Kites-R-Fun = Total cost of kites + Total shipping cost = $20 + $8 = $28
For Windy Kites:
Cost per kite = Half the price of Kites-R-Fun = $4 / 2 = $2
Flat rate for shipping = $20
Total cost of kites = Cost per kite * Number of kites = $2 * 5 = $10
Total shipping cost = Flat rate for shipping = $20
Total cost for Windy Kites = Total cost of kites + Total shipping cost = $10 + $20 = $30
Now we can fill in the table:
| Seller | Total cost for 5 kites |
|----------------|-------------------------------|
| Kites-R-Fun | $28 |
| Windy Kites | $30 |
Therefore, the customer costs from each seller are $28 for Kites-R-Fun and $30 for Windy Kites.
