Question

Instant Meals sent out free samples to introduce its new product, Sesame soup. Each sample weighs 69 g. The post office charges thirty-six cents for every 23 g of weight. How much would Instant Meals spend on postage to mail out one hundred eighty-eight samples?

Answer 1

$203.04

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

23 ounces to be $0.36

And,

69 ounces be x

So here x

= (69 ounces × $0.36) ÷ 23 ounces

= $1.08

Since there is 188 samples, so the total value is

= $1.08 × 188

= $203.04
