First pound = $17.5 2 to 10 pound = 9*2.6 =$23.4
11 to 23.5 pounds = 13.5*1.2 = $16.2 Total = 17.5+23.4+16.2 = 57.1 Bunuel What am i missing? _________________ Help with kudos if u found the post useful.

When paying by express service, the cost of shipping the package
will be split across the three parts

For the first pound : $17.50 Till the 10th pound :$2.60 per pound
Till the 24th pound : $1.20 per pound Cost for sending the parcel will be $$17.50 + 9*2.60 + 14*1.20 = 17.50 + 23.40 + 16.8 = 57.7$$ Therefore, the cost of sending the package will be$57.70(Option C)
