Answer 1

Answer:

2.2084384 in cents, and 22.084384 in dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Apologies in advance if I've got something wrong, it's currently 12:08 at night for me njnhrj

First we'd like to figure out how much we have after calculating the weight left over after charging for the first ounce.

7.90137-1=6.90137

Multiply by .32, and you've got your sum in cents; 2.2084384‬

Divide this by 0.1 and you've got it in dollars; 22.084384
