The actual weight of the package is 42 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given weight of package = 28 pounds
Let,
x be the actual weight.
According to given statement;
The actual weight is multiplied by 2/3
Therefore;
[tex]\frac{2}{3}*x=28\\\\\frac{2}{3}x=28[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 3/2
[tex]\frac{3}{2}*\frac{2}{3}x=28*\frac{3}{2}\\x=\frac{84}{2}\\x=42[/tex]
The actual weight of the package is 42 pounds.
