Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum weight = 20 kg

Bag 1 = 3.5kg

Bag 2 = 15 kg

Bag 3 = 2kg

Bag 4 = 1.5kg

Total weight of bags = 22 kg

Excess weight of his luggage = Total weight of bags - Maximum weight

= 22 kg - 20 kg

= 2 kg

Express the excess weight as a percentage of his maximum weight allowed = excess weight / maximum weight × 100

= 2/20 × 100

= 0.1 × 100

= 10%

Express the excess weight as a percentage of his maximum weight allowed = 10%
