a dry cleaner charges $2 for upto 3 pounds in weight of clothes and 30% more per pound or part there of to a maximum of 10 pounds per load.what is the cost in dollars of cleaning six and half pounds of clothes?

• 5.03
  2$ are charged for first 3 pounds
  so.for 1 pound the charge will be=2/3$
  30% per pound .so (2/3)*(30/100)=1/5
  so 1 pound cost after 3$=13/15$
  so..total charge for 7/2=3.03$ & total cost is..2+3.03=5.03$

• 2$ are charged for first 3 pounds
  Now for the rest three and half pound..the rate would be 2+30/100=2.3$ per pound
  So total charge=2+7/2(3 and half pound)*2.3=10.05$
