Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the package's weight

C(x) -----> the charge in dollars

we know that

1) For

[tex]0\ oz < x \leq 3\ oz[/tex]

[tex]C(x)=\$1.10[/tex]

2) For

[tex]3\ oz < x \leq 10\ oz[/tex]

[tex]C(x)=\$2.25[/tex]

3) For

[tex]10\ oz < x \leq 15\ oz[/tex]

[tex]C(x)=\$3.35[/tex]

2) For

[tex]x > 15\ oz[/tex]

[tex]C(x)[/tex] -----> the company has a different price setting
