Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
To determine the cost of shipping a 28-pound parcel by ground, you need to apply three different per-pound rates: $1.50 for the first pound, $.40 for pounds 210, and $.25 for pounds 1128. Heres the calculation: $1.50 + ($.40) (9) + ($.25) (18) = $9.60.

I think there is a mistake in the solution. The statement says through 10 which means that 10 is included. I am not sure why you used 9*0.4 instead of 10*0.4
