Answer:
$11.76 is the charge for bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
One way fare = $98
Weight of bag = 52 pounds
Rate per pound Charges on baggage over 40 pounds = 1% of the one-way fare
To find:
Charge for bag = ?
Solution:
Pounds more than 40 pounds = Weight of baggage - 40 pounds
[tex]\Rightarrow 52-40 = 12\ pounds[/tex]
Charges on extra baggage = 1% of one-way fare multiplied by pounds more than 40.
Here one way fare is $98.
So, charges on extra baggage will be:
[tex]1\%\ of\ 98 \times (52-40) \\\Rightarrow 1\%\ of\ 98\times (12)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{100}\ of\ (98 \times 12)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{100}\times (98 \times 12)\\\Rightarrow \bold{\$11.76}[/tex]
So, the charge for the baggage is $11.76.
