Part b if the company reduces the cost to ship pet supplies by $0.05 per pound, write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of pet supplies with the reduced cost
The equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of pet supplies with the reduced cost can be written as:
c = p * (original cost per pound - reduced cost per pound)
Where:
p = number of pounds of pet supplies
original cost per pound = original shipping cost per pound
reduced cost per pound = original cost per pound - $0.05
