The answer is 20 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of pounds.

UPS charges $7 for the first pound, and $0.20 for each additional pound.

FedEx charges $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each additional pound.

To know the number of pounds it will take for UPS and FedEx to cost the same, we will equal both the equations.

=>  

=>  

=> p = 20

Hence, it will take 20 pounds to make both equal.
