The total price that Peter paid for the local parcel = $2.07
The rate per ounce at that time was = $0.23/ounce
Total weight of Peter's package = Total price paid by peter/ rate per ounce
Total weight of Peter's package = $2.07/$0.23 per ounce
We now have to divide 2.07/0.23 = 207/23 (Shifting both numerator and denominator by 2 decimal places) = 9
Total weight of Peter's package = 9 ounces

I’m also stuck on this question
We are given here the individual costs of DVD and CD as well as the total sales and the number of items sold on one day. To solve the number of DVDs and CDs sold each, we devise two independent linear equations:
(1) x + y = 39
(2) 4x + 7y = 204
x- number of DVDs; y - number of CDs
solving, x= 23 DVDs
y = 16 CDs
