Rebecca posted a parcel that weighed 3kg last week and was charged $1.20 for the postage. She assumes that the price for postage is a fixed amount for each 100g. This week she needs to post a parcel that weighs 4kg. (a) How much would Rebecca expect to pay to post the parcel? In fact it will cost Rebecca $1.40 to post the parcel. This is because the price is calculated as a fixed charge for posting a parcel with a weight of up to 1kg and then an additional amount for each 100g above 1kg that the parcel weighs. (b) How much would it cost to post a parcel weighing 0.5kg?
