The store charges $9.77 to ship a hammock that weighs 10.54 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

4.50 (shipping cost)

0.50 (per 1 pound)

w = weight in pounds

       w=10.54

4.50+0.50w= total cost

        sub in 10.54 for w

        remember order of operations (PEMDAS)

4.50 + 0.50 (10.54) = 4.50 + 5.27 = 9.77
