<h3>The weight of small package is 5 ounces</h3>
<u><em>Solution:</em></u>
The price of mailing a small package is $0.32 for the first ounce
$0.21 for an additional ounce
Let "x" be the additional ounces
From given,
Simone paid $1.16 to mail her package
First ounce = $ 0.32
Therefore,
Money paid for additional ounces = 1.16 - 0.32 = $ 0.84
Given that,
$0.21 for an additional ounce
Therefore,
Thus weight of package = first ounce + 4 additional ounces = 5 ounces
Thus the weight of small package is 5 ounces
