Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The cost to send one small package is $2.90 \$2.90 .
2. The cost to send one large package is $3.70 \$3.70 .
3. Hong is sending 1 small package and 4 large packages.
4. We need to calculate the total cost for sending these packages.

STEP 2

1. Calculate the cost for the small package.
2. Calculate the cost for the large packages.
3. Sum the costs to find the total cost.

STEP 3

Calculate the cost for sending 1 small package.
Cost for 1 small package=1×2.90=$2.90\text{Cost for 1 small package} = 1 \times 2.90 = \$2.90

STEP 4

Calculate the cost for sending 4 large packages.
Cost for 4 large packages=4×3.70\text{Cost for 4 large packages} = 4 \times 3.70

STEP 5

Perform the multiplication for the large packages.
4×3.70=14.804 \times 3.70 = 14.80

STEP 6

Add the costs of the small package and the large packages to find the total cost.
Total cost=2.90+14.80\text{Total cost} = 2.90 + 14.80

STEP 7

Perform the addition.
2.90+14.80=17.702.90 + 14.80 = 17.70
The total cost for sending 1 small package and 4 large packages is:
17.70\boxed{17.70}
