Sure

Answer 9

Excluding the weight of the carton, what would be the weight of 10 books?

Answer 10

How about B. ?

Answer 11

Not sure... Math isn't my strong point.

Answer 12

The weight of 10 books is 24 multiplied by 10 = 240 oz.
So to find the weight of n books, without the carton, we multiply the weight of one book by n, giving 24n. Then we add the weight of the carton, giving 24n + 8.
