A 9-foot long section of Kryptonite weighs 1,675 pounds. What is the weight of a 3-foot long section of Kryptonite? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

For this case we will first look for the total cost of the purse.
 We then have the following rule of three:
 14.95 $ > 100%
 x > 105%
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (105/100) * (14.95)
 x = 15.6975 $
 The amount needed to buy the purse is:
 15.6975 - 10 = 5.6975 $
 
 holley needs 5.6975 $ to buy the purse
