To calculate the cost \( c \) of sending a 5-pound package using the given formula \( c = 2.01w + 14.29 \), we will substitute \( w \) with 5.
\[
c = 2.01(5) + 14.29
\]
Calculating it step by step:
1. Multiply \( 2.01 \) by \( 5 \):
\[
2.01 \times 5 = 10.05
\]
2. Add \( 10.05 \) and \( 14.29 \):
\[
10.05 + 14.29 = 24.34
\]
Therefore, the cost to send a 5-pound package overnight is \( \text{\$} 24.34 \).
\[
c = 2.01(5) + 14.29
\]
Calculating it step by step:
1. Multiply \( 2.01 \) by \( 5 \):
\[
2.01 \times 5 = 10.05
\]
2. Add \( 10.05 \) and \( 14.29 \):
\[
10.05 + 14.29 = 24.34
\]
Therefore, the cost to send a 5-pound package overnight is \( \text{\$} 24.34 \).
