Timely Transport provides local delivery service for a number of downtown and suburban businesses. Delivery charges are based on distance and weight involved for each delivery: 30 cents per pound and 10 cents per mile. Also, there is a $30 handling fee per parcel.

Explanation / Answer

We have

Y = a + b1 x X1 + b2 x X2

Y = $30 + 60 x 0.30 + 20 x 0.10

Y = $30 +$20

Y = $50

So total delivery charges would be $ 50.
