Answer:
If the weight of a package is multiplied by two thirds the result is 57.8 pounds. The weight of the package is 86.7 pounds
Solution:
Given that when weight of a package multiplied by two third the result is 57.8 pounds.
Need to calculate weight of the package.
Let’s assume the weight of the package = x
On multiplying 2/3 by weight of package we get
[tex]\frac{2}{3} \times x = \frac{2x}{3}[/tex]
So from given information, if the weight of a package is multiplied by two thirds the result is 57.8 pounds. Hence we get,
[tex]\frac{2x}{3} = 57.8[/tex]
On solving above expression for value of x, we get
x = 86.7
Hence the weight of the package is 86.7 pounds
