Answer 1

Answer: c)C=1.8p

Step-by-step explanation: Each pound of roasted peanuts cost $1.55. The shipping fee for each pound is $0.25. If you add them together, you will get $1.80. An example is if you did $1.8 x 5, you would get $9.00. 1.55 x 5 is $7.75 and 0.25 x 5 is 1.25 and if you add them, you will get $9.00
