Courier charges for packages to a certain destination are 65 cents for the first 250 grams and 10 cents for each additional 100 grams of part thereof. what could be the weight in grams of a package for which the charge is $1.55?

  1050 g < weight ≤ 1150 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the weight of the package in grams. The the number of 100-gram increments after the first 250 grams is given by ...

  ⌈(w-250)/100⌉ . . . . . . . where ⌈ ⌉ signifies the ceiling function

and the charges for a package exceeding 250 grams will be ...

  0.65 + 0.10⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 1.55

  0.10⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 0.90 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.65

  ⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.10

  8 < (w-250)/100 ≤ 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . meaning of ceiling function

  800 < w -250 ≤ 900 . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 100

  1050 < w ≤ 1150 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 250

The weight in grams could be greater than 1050 and at most 1150 for a charge of $1.55.
