Answer 1

13 pounds

Explanation:

We have that the weight of only the refrigerator is 192 pounds, now if we add the weight of the box and the packing material is 205 pounds.

To calculate the weight of the box and the packingpackaging material would be the difference between both weights, that is:

205 - 192 = 13

Which means that the weight of the box and packing material is 13 pounds.
