61.3 lb.

Answer 1

To find the total weight of the luggage before the reduction of 12.2 pounds, we can set up the equation:

Total weight - 12.2 lb = New total weight

Since we don't have the new total weight, we can't calculate directly from what the options you provided. However, if we were to assume the options might represent the total weight prior to the reduction rather than after, we could find which one fits.

Let's check each of the options to see if subtracting 12.2 pounds yields a reasonable weight. The potential new total weight would be:

1. 58.925 lb.

   • 58.925 + 12.2 = 71.125 lb.

2. 72.925 lb.

   • 72.925 + 12.2 = 85.125 lb.

3. 57.175 lb.

   • 57.175 + 12.2 = 69.375 lb.

4. 61.3 lb.

   • 61.3 + 12.2 = 73.5 lb.

Without additional context for what the "new total weight" is, or more information, we can't definitively say which number is correct. However, if these are all possible original weights and we are looking for prior total weight, you could choose any based on specific scenarios or new limits.

If you have a specific value for the new total weight, I'd be happy to help further!
