The clothes weigh 14.77 kilograms.

Given:
Weight of suitcase = 50 pounds
Towels = 20% of weight
Shoes = 15% of weight
Clothes = 65% of weight

convert pounds to kilograms using proportion:

pounds 2.2 = 50
kilograms 1 x

2.2x = 50 ⇒ x = 50/2.2 ⇒ x = 22.73 kgs

Clothes : 22.73 kgs * 65% = 14.77 kgs
Towels : 22.73 kgs * 20% = 4.55 kgs
Shoes : 22.73 kgs * 15% = 3.41 kgs
