Answer 1

To find the total weight of the luggage, we need to add the weight you need to reduce (12.2 lb) to the weight options provided, as these seem to represent the total weight after reduction. Here are the calculations for each of the provided responses:

1. If the total weight after reduction is 57.175 lb:

   • Original weight = 57.175 lb + 12.2 lb = 69.375 lb

2. If the total weight after reduction is 58.925 lb:

   • Original weight = 58.925 lb + 12.2 lb = 71.125 lb

3. If the total weight after reduction is 61.3 lb:

   • Original weight = 61.3 lb + 12.2 lb = 73.5 lb

4. If the total weight after reduction is 72.925 lb:

   • Original weight = 72.925 lb + 12.2 lb = 85.125 lb

Based on the calculations, the total weight of the luggage corresponds to the following:

• 69.375 lb (after 12.2 lb reduction from 57.175 lb)
• 71.125 lb (after 12.2 lb reduction from 58.925 lb)
• 73.5 lb (after 12.2 lb reduction from 61.3 lb)
• 85.125 lb (after 12.2 lb reduction from 72.925 lb)

Thus, the total weight of the luggage before the reduction could be any of these calculations depending on the final weight you are referring to. If you need a specific total weight, please clarify which of the options was the weight after reduction, and I can help further!
