Question 186782: An overnight delivery company charges $12.54 for the first 12 oz and $0.72 per ounce for each ounce over 12 oz. If it costs $17.58 to send a package, what does it weigh? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 12.54+.72x=17.58
.72x=17.58-12.54
.72x=5.04
x=5.04/72
x=7 oz.
12+7=19 oz. is the total weight of the package.
