Answer: C= 0.25 + 0.20n

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of ounces of the letters.

As per given,

Cost per ounce = $0.45

Additional cost per ounce = $0.20

So, the equation to represent the total cost, C, to mail a first class letter that  weighs n ounces will be

C= 0.45 + (n-1)(0.20)

⇒ C= 0.45 + 0.20n-0.20

⇒ C= 0.25 + 0.20n

Hence, the required equation is  C= 0.25 + 0.20n .
