enter your response here to send overnight.

Answer 1

To find the cost \( c \) for a 14-pound package using the formula given:

\[
c = 2.03w + 14.24
\]

where \( w \) is the weight of the package in pounds. Here, we substitute \( w = 14 \):

\[
c = 2.03(14) + 14.24
\]

First, calculate \( 2.03 \times 14 \):

\[
2.03 \times 14 = 28.42
\]

Now, add that result to 14.24:

\[
c = 28.42 + 14.24 = 42.66
\]

Therefore, the cost to send a 14-pound package overnight is

\[
\boxed{42.66}
\]
