Answer:
$11.76
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Baggage having its weight greater than 40 pounds is charged at rate of 1% of the one-way fare
.
Here, as per statement One way fare of a trip = $98
Weight of bag on that trip = 52 pounds
To find:
Charge for bag for this trip = ?
Solution:
Weight greater than that of 40 pounds = Given total Weight of baggage - 40 pounds
As per the given statement:
Weight greater than that of 40 pounds = 52 - 40 pounds = 12 pounds
Charges on extra baggage = weight in pounds more than 40 multiplied by 1% of one-way fare.
Given that this trip has one way fare = $98.
The charge for a bag weighing 52 pounds = 1% of 98 \times 12
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{100}\times 98 \times 12\\\Rightarrow 98 \times 0.12\\\Rightarrow \bold{\$11.76}[/tex]
So, the answer is $11.76.
