To write a function rule that gives the total cost \( c(p) \) of \( p \) pounds of sugar with each pound costing $0.59, we can use the formula for total cost, which is the cost per pound multiplied by the number of pounds.
The function rule can be defined as follows:
\[
c(p) = 0.59p
\]
Here, \( c(p) \) represents the total cost in dollars, and \( p \) represents the number of pounds of sugar. When you substitute a value for \( p \), the function will return the total cost for that amount of sugar.
