Rules for posting:

1. Ask an actual question. A question is a series of words that form a complete sentence where it is appropriate to append a question mark,
(i.e. one of these things: "?") to the end of the sentence.
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.

2. If you post a problem for which you want a solution, make sure you make it clear what it is about the problem that is giving you difficulty.

3. Show all of the work, successful or not, that you have done or attempted in the solution of the problem.

4. If following these instructions is too much work for you, then helping you is too much work for us.

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

x, the number of pounds shipped

Account for the cost!
1%28dollar%2Fpound%29%2Ax%2Apounds%2B5=15---------this is DOLLARS on both sides.

x%2B5=15

and you can do the rest.

Your post with no question MAKES NO SENSE.

Every post with no question MAKES NO SENSE.


Every HOMO SAPIENCE does understand it even without explanations.


Every post with no question is the subject of ignoring at this forum.


====================

To attention of the managers of this project: 

    Three consecutive posts NN 1135236, 1135237 and 1135238  were sent to the forum today without questions.


    I consider such a behavior of the person who did it as a mockery and ask you to take appropriate measures immediately - 
    - till firing him/her.


    Thank you for your understanding.

My responce :   To document events,  I copied your post as I got it,  and pasted it into the first line of my post.


As you can see,  there is  NO  YOUR  QUESTION  there.

From reaction of other tutors it is  CLEARLY  SEEN  that they also have no your question in their mails.

I have a lot of current work at the forum and at the site,  and I  REALLY  DON'T  WANT  TO  SPEND  my time for nothing . . .
