Answer: The required function rule is,
[tex]c(p) = 0.59p[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The cost of one pound of sugar = $ 0.59
The cost of p pound of sugar = 0.59p,
Let c(p) represents the cost of p pounds of sugar,
c(p) = 0.59p
Which is the required function that gives the total cost c(p) of p pounds of sugar.
