b. Determine the delivery charge for transporting a 47-pound parcel 27 miles. (Do not round your intermediate calculation. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

y = $ ____

Explanation / Answer

Delivery charges , $

= $0.32 per pound of weight x X1 + $0.27 per mile x X2 + $37 ( as handling fee per parcel )

= 0.32.X1 + 0.27 .X2 + 37

Y = 0.32.X1 + 0.27.X2 + 37

Delivery charges for transporting 47 Pound parcel 27 miles , $

= 0.32 X 47 + 0.27 X 27 + 37

= $15.04 + $7.29 + $37

= $59.33

DELIVERY CHARGES FOR TRANSPORTING 47 POUND PARCEL 27 MILES = $59.33

Y = 0.32.X1 + 0.27.X2 + 37
