After calculating the total weight, you and your friends have decided that you need to reduce the weight by 12.2 pounds (Ib.). Now, what is the total weight of the luggage? (2 points)

Question

• 61.3 lb.
58.925 lb.
• 57.175 lb.
• 72.925 lb.

Answer 1

To find the total weight of the luggage before the reduction of 12.2 pounds, we can add the reduction back to the potential total weights you provided.

Let's check each option:

1. 61.3 lb.
   \( 61.3 + 12.2 = 73.5 \text{ lb.} \)

2. 58.925 lb.
   \( 58.925 + 12.2 \approx 71.125 \text{ lb.} \)

3. 57.175 lb.
   \( 57.175 + 12.2 \approx 69.375 \text{ lb.} \)

4. 72.925 lb.
   \( 72.925 + 12.2 \approx 85.125 \text{ lb.} \)

All calculations show the possible total weights before the 12.2-pound reduction. The total weight could be:

• 73.5 lb. for 61.3 lb.
• 71.125 lb. for 58.925 lb.
• 69.375 lb. for 57.175 lb.
• 85.125 lb. for 72.925 lb.

Since you want the total weight after the reduction, you need to choose from the provided answers based on their calculated totals. If you are looking for the original total weight, please clarify to help you further.
