Answer 1

it's actually legit 50 pounds because you sound up if it's 5 or more but if it's less it stays the same

Answer 2

50 pounds

Explanation:

The maximum weight of the luggage a passenger can bring without charge is 50 pounds.

Mary Ellen has decided to weigh each item as she packs her bag.

weight of Suitcase = 3.65 lbs

weight of clothing = 4.35 lbs

weight of shoes = 8.67 lbs

weight of toiletries = 11.35 lbs

weight of extras = 21.63 lbs

Now we will add the weights of each items

Total weight = 3.65 + 4.35 + 8.67 + 11.35 + 21.63 = 49.65

Rounding to the nearest to the one pound will be = 50 lbs

(Since 0.65 is greater than 0.5 so by rounding off 0.65 will become 1.)

Therefore the estimated weight is 50 pounds.
