Answer:
1050 g < weight ≤ 1150 g
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the weight of the package in grams. The the number of 100-gram increments after the first 250 grams is given by ...
⌈(w-250)/100⌉ . . . . . . . where ⌈ ⌉ signifies the <em>ceiling</em> function
and the charges for a package exceeding 250 grams will be ...
0.65 + 0.10⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 1.55
0.10⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 0.90 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.65
⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.10
8 < (w-250)/100 ≤ 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . meaning of ceiling function
800 < w -250 ≤ 900 . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 100
1050 < w ≤ 1150 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 250
The weight in grams could be greater than 1050 and at most 1150 for a charge of $1.55.
