Answer :

Given the information on the table,we can see that for each ounce, the price increases 17 cents (or $0.17)

Then, we have the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Formula for n ounces:} \\ a_n=1+0.17n \\ \text{For n = 11 ounces:} \\ a_{11}=1+0.17(11)=1+1.87=2.87 \end{gathered}[/tex]

therefore, the cost to mail a package that weighs 11 ounces is $2.87
