Question 525063
The cost varies directly with the weight of the package.
---
C = kw
---
Solve for "k" using "The cost of mailing a 3LB package from clearwater to denver with UPS is $15."
15 = k*3
k = 5
-----
Equation:
C(w) = 5w
------

If you want to send a package that weighs 4 2/5 pounds how much would it cost?
use an equation to model the situation and come up with the solution.
C(4 2/5) = 5*(4 2/5) = 20 + 2 = $22
