.62 +.08x = 1.66 It might be easier to get rid of the decimals
62 + 8x = 166 Solve for x, but don't forget to add in the 5 ounces
because you got the first 5 ounces with the 62 cents.
It looks like you also need to know that there are 16 oz in a pound so you can convert your total ounces to pounds and ounces.
