Sally's Stuffed Animal Company charges $0.75 per pound to ship stuffed animals. Part A: Write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of stuffed animals. Use your equation to determine the cost of shipping 2 pounds of stuffed animals.
Part B: If the company reduces the cost to ship the stuffed animals by $0.05 per pound, write an equation to determine the total cost, c, to ship p pounds of stuffed animals with the reduced cost.

Part A: 0.75p = c and $1.50  Part B: 0.70p = c

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable "p" represents pounds and the variable "c" represents the total cost.

PART A: If you are shipping two pounds of stuffed animals using the equation from Part A which is 0.75p = c, we will solve 0.75 x 2 to get the total cost. Once we solve that we end up with a total cost of $1.50 for two pounds of stuffed animals to be shipped.

PART B: If the company reduces the cost to ship the stuffed animals by $.05, then our equation will be 0.70p = c because the original cost was $0.75 so all we had to do was subtract $.05 from it.

(sorry if this is confusing but I really hoped it helped!)

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
