Answer 1

The weight of box and pocking material
`=13` pound

Explanation:

Let the weight of box and packing material
`=x`

weight of package
`=192` pounds

total weight
`=205` pound

`x+192=205`

Subtract both side by
`192`

`x+192-192=205-192\\x+0=13\\x=13`

Hence weight of box and packing material
`=13` pound
