Answer:

13 pounds

Explanation:

We know that the total weight of everything is 205 pounds, and the fridge itself is 192 pounds. So we need to calculate the weight of everything that is not a fridge, which would be:

205 - 192 = 13 pounds

That means that the box and the packaging is 13 pounds. Hope this helps!
