Question

#3) Ulices was charged $140 plus a pick up charge of $20 to ship 4 identical boxesbys Fast Ship. The pick up charge applies regardless of how many boxes are pickedup. What would have been the change to Ulices' account if he had shipped just 1box?

Answer 1

To determine the Ulices's account if he shipped just 1 box, calculate the charge for one box. To calculate the charge, compute the quotient between the charge for 4 boxes between 4 boxes, just as folow:

charge per one box = 140/4 = 35

Hence, for 1 box the charge is $35

Due to it is necessary to pay $20 idependenty of the number of boxex, you sum $20 to the cost for one box:

New Ulices's account = $35 + $20 = $55

Hence, Ulices's account would have been of $55
