Answer:
$ 4.50
Explanation:
Given:
Charges of shipping package up to 1 ounce= $0.57
charges of shipping package of 224 grams=?
Converting grams into ounces
1 gram = 0.035274 ounces
224 grams = x ounces
By cross-multiplication we get
224(0.035274)= x ounces
7.90137= x
224 grams= 7.90137 ounces
Now finding charges of shipping package of 7.90137 ounces
Charges of shipping package up to 1 ounce= $0.57
charges of shipping package of 7.90137 ounces= $ x
By cross-multiplication we get
$x= 7.90(0.57)
= 4.50
Hence the cost to ship the package in dollar and cents is $4.50
i.e. 4 dollars and 50 cents!
