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 $1.55 ?



Answer :

Well, drop 65 cents (the first 250 grams) to get 90 remaining cents. These are 900 additional grams. So, the mass is 0.25+0.9=1.15 kg.
