Please note the question says "The average weight of the 27 packages Maya shipped last year using Company 1 was 2.50 kilograms"
And we want to determine the average cost Maya incurred by using Company 1 to ship her packages.

There is no need to calculate what she must have spent shipping 27 packages, 2.5 Kg x €3 = €7.5 (Answer 1)
Average amount saved => 1 Package using Company 2 costs €14 so avg is going to be €14.
=> €14 - €7.5 (Answer 1) = €6.5 (Answer 2)

This is a medium level problem IMO because of the assimilation of data needed. It deserves more than sub 505 level IMO

Maya always ships her packages using one of two shipping companies. At Company 1, Maya pays €3.00 per kilogram based on the total weight of the package. At Company 2, she pays a flat fee of €14.00 to ship a package of any weight. No other fees apply to ship a package at either company, and Maya always chooses the least expensive company to ship any given package. The average weight of the 27 packages Maya shipped last year using Company 1 was 2.50 kilograms.

Based on the information provided, select for Average price the average price Maya paid per package using Company 1 last year, and select for Average amount saved the average amount Maya saved per package last year by using Company 1 rather than Company 2 to ship the packages. Make only two selections, one in each column.
