We know that
• The first two weigh 3 pounds.
,• The other three weigh 2 pounds,.
,• Two-day shipping costs $0.37 per ounce.
,• Ground shipping costs $0.30 per ounce.
We also know that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.
So, the weights are
[tex]3\cdot16=48[/tex][tex]2\cdot16=32[/tex]So, the cost of each package of 48 ounces is
[tex]48\cdot0.37=17.76[/tex]Therefore, each 3 pounds package costs $17.76 with two-day shipping.
We repeat the process for the other packages.
[tex]32\cdot0.37=11.84[/tex]Therefore, each 2 pounds package costs $11.84 with two-day shipping. So, the total is
[tex]2(17.76)+3(11.84)=35.52+35.52=71.04[/tex]Sending all packages with two-day shipping costs $71.04.
We repeat all the process for ground shipping.
[tex]2\cdot48\cdot0.30=28.8[/tex][tex]3\cdot32\cdot0.30=28.8[/tex]Both services cost $28.8 each, so the total is $57.6.
IF we compare both services, we have
[tex]71.04-57.6=13.44[/tex]
