To determine the approximate cost of sending a 17.5-pound package, you would typically look at the graph to see where \( w = 17.5 \) intersects the charge \( c \).
Since I don't have the actual graph to view, I can guide you on how to interpret the graph:
1. **Locate 17.5 on the horizontal axis (w)**: Find this point on the x-axis.
2. **Move vertically** until you reach the graph line.
3. **Move horizontally to the vertical axis (c)**: This will give you the associated cost in dollars.
Based on your options:
- A. $36
- B. $67
- C. $50
Without the graph to see the exact intersection, if you leaned towards commonly observed rates, estimates might suggest the cost could feasibly fall into the higher range, like $50 or $67, depending on standard shipping charges.
If you have context that leads you to believe a specific option is most likely (such as typical shipping costs for that weight), choose that one. As a general assumption, if you think the charge might be in the mid-range based on common shipping rates, you would likely choose **C. $50.**
For the most accurate answer, please check the graph directly, as it will provide the specific cost at 17.5 pounds.
