61.3 lb.
61.3 lb.

58.925 lb.

Answer 1

To find the total weight of the luggage before the reduction of 12.2 pounds, you can add 12.2 pounds to each of the provided options to check which one gives a reasonable total weight:

1. 57.175 lb. + 12.2 lb. = 69.375 lb.
2. 72.925 lb. + 12.2 lb. = 85.125 lb.
3. 61.3 lb. + 12.2 lb. = 73.5 lb.
4. 58.925 lb. + 12.2 lb. = 71.125 lb.

You need to identify which total weight makes sense in your context.

Since the question only asks for the total weight after reducing 12.2 pounds, and you have listed 4 options; any of these could potentially be correct depending on your situation. However, if you're looking for the total weight before reduction, you would need to pick the total that best references what you had before the weight decrease.

If any additional context is available, it would help clarify which is the most appropriate answer.
