Question

To mail a letter to Vienna, Austria the post office charges a flat rate of $8.00 and an additional $0.50 for every ounce the letter weighs. The cost of mailing a letter is determined by the equation y=0.50x+8.00, where y is the cost of the postage and x is the weight of the letter in ounces.

Step 2 of 2 : Use the graph to estimate to the nearest quarter of a dollar ($0.25) the cost to send a letter that weighs 3 ounces.

Answer 1

Answer:

It will cost 38 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 0.50x + 8.00

y = 0.5(3) + 8.00

y = 1.5 + 8.00

y = $9.50

$9.50/.25

38 quarters
