To calculate the total cost of shipping a box, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Flat Packing Fee} + (\text{Weight in pounds} \times \text{Cost per pound})
\]
Given the values:
- Flat Packing Fee = $3
- Cost per pound = $1.50
The formula can be expressed as:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 3 + (1.50 \times \text{Weight in pounds})
\]
For example, if you wanted to calculate the cost of shipping a box that weighs 10 pounds:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 3 + (1.50 \times 10) = 3 + 15 = 18
\]
So, the total cost to ship a 10-pound box would be $18.
You can substitute different weights to find the shipping cost for boxes of different weights.
