Question

You're flying to the Bahamas. You wait your suitcase at home before going to the airport and it weighed 68 pounds. While you're standing in line to check your bag at the airport you see signs saying bags weighing more than 22 Kilo grams will be charged an extra $50. Will you pay the $50? How many kilograms does your bag way? Your answer should be the number of kilograms your bag weighs. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 34 lbs

Answer 2

Given:

Weight of bag = 68 pounds

Let's first convert the weight of the bag in pounds to kilograms.

1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds

x kilogram = 68 pounds

Thus, we have:

`(68)/(2.20462)\text{ }\ast1\text{ kilogram = }30.84\text{ kg}`

Therefore, the weight of my bag in kilogram is 30.8 kilograms

Since the weight of my bag in kg is more than 22 kg, I will pay the extra charge of $50.

ANSWER:

30.8 kilograms
