Givens

However, we don't know the exact weight of the content.

Let's call the weight of the container and the weight of the content.

, which represents the total weight.

Now, the ratio between the container and the content would be

Remember that the ratio is a fraction of similar magnitudes, in this case the magnitude is weight.

Also, we use a difference, because the weight of the container is the difference between the total weight and the weight of the content, and viceversa.

Therefore, the ratio is

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
