How many pieces are in a mailing weighing 61 pounds gross with 18 pounds tare and a piece weight of .4615 pounds?

To determine the number of pieces in a mailing, you first need to calculate the net weight of the mailing by subtracting the tare weight from the gross weight. In this case, the gross weight is 61 pounds, and the tare weight is 18 pounds.

First, subtract the tare weight from the gross weight:

61 pounds (gross weight) - 18 pounds (tare weight) = 43 pounds (net weight).

Now that you have the net weight, you can find out how many individual pieces are in the mailing by dividing the net weight by the weight of each piece.

Given the piece weight is 0.4615 pounds, you perform the following calculation:

43 pounds (net weight) ÷ 0.4615 pounds (piece weight) = approximately 93 pieces.

This calculation results in approximately 93 pieces, which corresponds with the answer choice provided. Thus, this option accurately reflects the distribution of weight among the pieces in the mailing.
