Each box costs = v$per pound +h So.. 1) Box containing s pounds will cost = s*v+h 2) Box containing t pounds will cost = t*v+h Total = s*v+h + t*v+h = 2h+v(s+t) E _________________ GMAT Club Legend Joined: 18 Aug 2017 Posts: 6425 Location: India Concentration: Sustainability, Marketing GPA: 4 WE: Marketing (Energy and Utilities) Re: The cost of purchasing each box of candy from a certain mail order cat [#permalink] ### Show Tags 29 Apr 2020, 07:09 parkhydel wrote: The cost of purchasing each box of candy from a certain mail order catalog is v dollars per pound of candy, plus a shipping charge of h dollars.

FORMULA IS:

$$(V*P)+H$$

Thus:
$$V*S+V*T+2H$$
$$V(S+T)+2H$$

Since there are two boxes, each will cost shipping charges h. Hence 2h is necessary. So
Cost of purchase is 2h + st + sv
