Answer :
The answer is option B) 7.3 kg.
Let's denote the weight of each of the other two pieces of luggage as x kilograms. Since all three pieces sum up to 52.5 kg, we can set up the equation:
37.9 kg + x + x = 52.5 kg
Combine like terms:
37.9 kg+2x=52.5 kg
Subtract 37.9 kg from both sides:
2x=52.5 kg−37.9 kg
2x=14.6 kg
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
x = 14.6/2
x = 7.3 Kg
So each of the other two pieces weighs 7.3 kg.
