We know Simone paid $1.16
1st ounce is $0.32
$1.16-$0.32=$0.84
0.84 it’s the money he paid for additional ounces.
0.84/0.21= 4
The package has 4 additional ounces .
1st ounces $0.32,
4 additional ounces $0.21x4=$0.84
5 ounces paid $1.65

five pounds because if u minus 6-2 which is the last numbers of 0.32 and 1.16 the number you get will be 4 and if u do 4/1 the one is from the 0.21 it would be 4 so so u add the four u got and the one you got and you add them which equals six and to check ur work you could just add 0.32+0.21+0.21+0.21+0.21 which would equal 1.16 or you would just do guess and check starting with three.
