Question

A baker is filling an order which consists of loaves of bread, bags of rolls, small boxes of croissants. She includes 8 of each item in the order and needs to calculate the weight for the delivery charge.

Answer 1

Answer: To calculate the weight for the delivery charge, we need to know the weight of each item. Let's assume the weights are as follows:

• Loaf of bread: 1 pound
• Bag of rolls: 0.5 pounds
• Small box of croissants: 0.25 pounds

Since there are 8 of each item in the order, we can calculate the total weight as follows:

• Loaves of bread: 8 * 1 = 8 pounds
• Bags of rolls: 8 * 0.5 = 4 pounds
• Small boxes of croissants: 8 * 0.25 = 2 pounds

Therefore, the total weight of the order is 8 + 4 + 2 = 14 pounds. This is the weight that should be used to calculate the delivery charge.
