ou are an entrepreneur selling handmade kites. Your company Kites-R-Fun has been contacted by a customer in Alaska who wants to purchase several of your best-selling kites and wants you to ship them to her.

Question

🪁You charge $6 per kite plus a flat rate (one-time) of $10 to ship these items to Alaska.

Answer 1

Great! To provide the customer in Alaska with a complete quote for her order, let’s break down the pricing.

1. Cost per kite: $6
2. Flat shipping fee: $10

Let’s assume the customer wants to purchase N kites. The total cost for the kites plus shipping would be calculated as follows:

Total Cost = (Cost per kite x Number of kites) + Shipping fee Total Cost = ($6 x N) + $10

Here’s an example for clarity:

• If the customer wants to purchase 5 kites:
  • Cost for kites = 5 x $6 = $30
  • Shipping fee = $10
  • Total Cost = $30 + $10 = $40

Please let me know how many kites the customer wants to purchase, and I can provide the specific total cost!
