document.write( " The conversion rule is 1 lbs = 16 oz.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " Of the total weigh of 2lbs 4oz, first pound is included into the @2.75 postage payment,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " so overweight is only 1lbs 4oz = 16+4 = 20oz.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " THEREFORE, the total postage cost is  2.75 + 20*0.35 = 9.75 dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " She paid $20, so her change was $20 - $9.75 = $10.25.      ANSWER\r\n" );
