Question

3) An online store charges $6.99 plus $0.55 per pound to ship purchases. Solve the equation to find how many pounds, p, a pair of sneakers weighs if the shipping charge is $11.94. 6.99 +0.55p = 11.94​

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

6.99+0.55p=11.94

subtract 6.99 from both sides

.55p=4.95

divide both sides by .55

p=9

A pair of sneakers weights 9 pounds if the shipping charge is 11.94
