Answer:

when customer have over charge - $6.31

when customer have undercharge - $6.70

Explanation:

Given data:

Charge is $6.50/pound.

Scale is accurate to within \pm 0.03 lb.

therefore,  the weight could be .97 [ 1- 0.03] pounds to 1.03 [1 + 0.03] pounds.

From the information given question we have

The customer is paying $6.50.

if weight is 0.97 lb, the customer paid

\frac{6.50}{0.97} = $6.70 /lb rather than $6.50/ lb.

if weight is  1.03 pounds, the customer paid

\frac{6.50}{1.03} = $6.31/ lb rather than $6.50/lb.
