Question

Currently, customers are responsible for paying the shipping costs. The sales team suggests that customers really dislike paying shipping costs and that offering “free shipping” instead of the 1% discount would likely increase sales. Create a formula for the “Sales with Free Shipping” column that subtracts the “Shipping Cost” from the “Sales” only if the “Expanded Order Type” is Extra Large, XX-Large, or XXX-Large. Copy the formula down to all the rows. What would total 2012 sales have been if the company had offered free shipping instead of the 1% discount (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Answer 1

Answer:

f(x) = 2.25x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

As given, the cost of shipping a box is based on its weight in pounds, and a flat rate of $5 for packing. This means $5 is common for each parcel that will be sent. Only the weight will vary.

So, option first f(x)=2.25x+5 is the correct answer. Here 2.25 is the per pound rate. Like if someone wants to send a parcel weighing 3 pounds, the price will be :

f(x)=2.25*3 +5

= $11.75
