Question

Read the weight shown in the picture. Find out the cost of sending a parcel of that weight.

Parcel weight = ______

Cost of stamps =  ______

Answer 1

Weight of the parcel = 230 g

Cost of a parcel weighing 50 g or less = Rs 5

If the weight of the parcel is more than 50 g, then the cost for every additional 50 g is Rs 3.

Now, weight of the parcel = 230 g = 50 g + 50 g + 50 g + 50 g + 30 g

∴ Cost of the stamps = Rs 5 + Rs 3 + Rs 3 + Rs 3 + Rs 3 = Rs 17

So, the total cost of sending the parcel of 230 g is Rs 17.

Parcel weight = 230 g 

Cost of stamps = Rs 17
