A courier charges for packages to a certain destination are 65 cents for the first 250 grams and 10 cents for each additional 100 grams or part thereof. What could be the weight in grams of a package for which the charge is $1.95?
Answer/Solution
1530
Steps/Work
The charge is 65 cents for the first 250 grams.
This leaves a charge of $1.95 - $0.65 = $1.30
The charge for the next 1200 grams is $1.20 which leaves a charge of $0.10
The weight is somewhere between 1450 and 1550.
The answer is C.
