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
Since the two numbers vary directly, if Y is quadrupled, X will do the same. 2 times 4 is 8, 15 times 4 is 60.
X = 60.
Hope that helps!! :)
