Please look up the definition if you are still unclear on the concept.
On this website, such a question should relate to some area of mathematics.

Your question should be, "How much was shipped"?

x, the number of pounds shipped

Account for the cost!
---------this is DOLLARS on both sides.

and you can do the rest.
