Answer:

If the weight of a package is multiplied by two thirds the result is 57.8 pounds. The weight of the package is 86.7 pounds

Solution:

Given that when weight of a package multiplied by two third the result is 57.8 pounds.

Need to calculate weight of the package.

Let’s assume the weight of the package = x

On multiplying 2/3 by weight of package we get


(2)/(3) * x = (2x)/(3)

So from given information, if the weight of a package is multiplied by two thirds the result is 57.8 pounds. Hence we get,


(2x)/(3) = 57.8

On solving above expression for value of x, we get

x = 86.7

Hence the weight of the package is 86.7 pounds
