Timely Transport provides local delivery service for a number of downtown and suburban businesses. Delivery charges are based on distance and weight involved for each delivery: 10 cents per pound and 15 cents per mile. Also, there is a $10 handling fee per parcel.a. Develop an expression that summarizes delivery charges.b. Determine the delivery charge for transporting a 40-pound parcel 26 miles.
I run JB Hunt trucking, and I'm trying to locate my warehouse to minimize the amount of gas my trucks use. Gas usage depends on both load hauled and distance traveled. I service two cities: New York (839 truck loads a year) and DC (274 truck loads a year). If New York is located at (40.0,77.0) and DC is located at (38.9,74.0) what is the (y-coordinate) of the best place to put my warehouse? Round to one decimal place (so if your answer is 443.363, round to 443.4)
