HELP PLEASEE

$11.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Baggage having its weight greater than 40 pounds is charged at rate of 1% of the one-way fare .

Here, as per statement  One way fare of a trip = $98  

Weight of bag on that trip = 52 pounds

To find:

Charge for bag for this trip = ?

Solution:

Weight greater than that of 40 pounds = Given total Weight of baggage - 40 pounds

As per the given statement:

Weight greater than that of 40 pounds = 52 - 40 pounds = 12 pounds

Charges on extra baggage =  weight in pounds more than 40 multiplied by  1% of one-way fare.

Given that this trip has one way fare = $98.

The charge for a bag weighing 52 pounds = 1% of 98 \times 12

So, the answer is $11.76.
