Answer:

Explanation:

Total number of coolers that need to be shipped from a warehouse is 8.5

Each cooler holds 8.91 pounds of products. This means that the total weight of products in pounds, held by 8.5 coolers is 8.91 × 8.5 = 75.735 pounds

Each cooler also holds 2.54 pounds of packing peanuts for safe delivery.

This means that the total weight of packing peanuts in pounds, held by 8.5 coolers is 2.541 × 8.5 = 21.59 pounds

the total weight of the coolers to be shipped will be

75.735 + 21.59 = 97.325 pounds
