We have the conversion of kg=lb as 1kg=2.2lbs

-------------

Converting the weight of the box to pounds you'll have

[tex]34kg( \frac{2.2lb}{1kg} ) = 74.8lbs[/tex]

--------------

Baggage allowance is 50 lb so the excess will be:

74.8lb - 50lb = 24.8lb

--------------

payment for the excess will be:

24.8lb ($5) = $124
