6. Answer the whole of this question on a single sheet of graph paper.

The charges made by a firm of carriers name Phiri Packages, for

delivering parcels of various masses are based on a fixed minimum
charge for parcels of 5 kg or les. For parcels over 5 kg the total charge
is made up of the fixed minimum charge together with an additional
charge which is proportional to the amount by which the mass
exceeds 5 kg. Charges or parcels over 5 kg the table shows some
examples of the charges.

Mass of parcel 15 23 29
(kg)
Charge ($) 28,50 40,50 49,50

(a) Taking 2 cm to represent 5 kg on the horizontal axis and 2 cm

to represent $5 on the vertical axis, draw a straight line graph to
show the total charges for parcels up to 30 kg. [4]

(b) Use your graph to estimate

(i) the fixed minimum charge,

(ii) the rate per kilogram for the amount by which a parcel
exceeds 5 kg.
(iii) the mass of the parcel that would cost $38,50 to dispatch.
[4]

(c) Calculate the charge for a parcel of mass 75 kg. [2]
