The cost to ship a series of identical packages through Alpha Shipper Company is $40 for the first 10 packages and $6 for each additional package after the tenth package. Did an online retailer who only uses Alpha Shipper Company for shipping ship more than 35 packages on Monday?
(1) If 4 additional packages were shipped, then the retailer would have spent at least $220 on shipping on Monday.
(2) The average price of the packages shipped on Monday was $5.50.
The OA is D.
From statement 1:
40 + 6(x + 4 - 10) = 220. Clearly sufficient, can solve for x.
From statement 2:
Taking the weighted average (40 + 6*x)/(x + 10) = 5.5. Sufficient, no need to solve.
Hence, the correct answer is D.
Has anyone another approach to solving this DS question? Regards!
