Question

Austin is mailing packages. Each small package costs him $2.60 to send. Each large package costs him $3.50. How much will it cost him to send 1 small package and 5 large packages?

Answer 1

$20.10

Explanation:

Let s = the cost of a small package and

l = the cost of a large package

1 small pakcage and 5 large package

1s+5l

Substitute s = $2.60 and l = $3.50

1($2.60) + 5(3.50)

= $20.10

Answer 2

$20.1

Explanation:

1 small package is $2.60

1 large package is $3.50

We multiply 3.5 * 5 since there are 5 large packages and we add 1 small package to get $20.1
