I'd like to confirm the wording of the question. The question as written states:
"The postage cost of a parcel is $2.15 per gram and $0.85 for each additional gram."
There seems to be some information missing. Is it supposed to read "$2.15 per parcel"? Or is there a weight limit; i.e., "$2.15 per gram and $0.85 for each additional gram over 60 grams"?
Thanks for confirming!

Hello Ms. Heather, That's the way the problem is written; $2.15 per gram. This is the reason why I submitted the question. I'm confused I have a feeling this problem was worded wrong. Can you please show me how to get the answer; $2.15 per gram, an additional $0.85 over 60 grams?11/20/18
