Answer 1

Super Express Couriers charges a postage fee of Rs 2 for each gram of the weight of a parcel and an additional

flat rate of Rs 30.

If Kevin's postage fee was 150 less than 5 times the weight of his parcel, how much did his parcel weigh?

A.40 g

B.60 g

С.240 g

D.260 g Ans is 40g and 60g

Answer 2

Given,

Kevins Postage fee = 150 less than 5 times the weight of his parcel

Postage fee = rs 2

Flat rate = rs 30

To find,

Weight of the parcel

Solution,

Let the weight of the parcel be x

5x - 150 = 30 + 2x

-- 5x - 2x = 30 + 150

-- 3x = 180

-- x = 180/3

-- x = 60

Thus the weight of Kevin's parcel was 60g
