Okie, so this question is easier then what you think. 
So you take your total, 11.17, and subtract 2.49 and then subtract 1.24. Your total should be 7.44. 

For double checking this answer, we will take 7.44, add 2.49 and then add 1.24. You should get 11.17! 

So your answer is 7.44. His package weighed 7.44lbs! :) 
Hope I helped. Any questions?
