Answer:

Mrs. Davis package is 30 ounces

Explanation:

x for ounces

mailbox plus=0.25x+5

united package=0.35x+2

since Mrs.Davis noticed that she is going to pay same price then:

0.25x+5=0.35x+2

5-2=0.35x-0.25x

3=0.10x

x=3/0.10

x=30 ounces

Mrs. Davis package is 30 ounces

check:

0.25x+5=0.25(30)+5= 12.5 dollars

o.35(30)+2=12.5 dollars
