To find the charge \( c \) for a 13-pound package using the formula \( c = 2.03w + 14.24 \), we will substitute \( w = 13 \) into the formula:
\[
c = 2.03(13) + 14.24
\]
First, calculate \( 2.03 \times 13 \):
\[
2.03 \times 13 = 26.39
\]
Now, add 14.24 to this result:
\[
c = 26.39 + 14.24 = 40.63
\]
Therefore, the cost to send a 13-pound package overnight is **$40.63**.
