    The total price that Peter paid for the local parcel = $2.07

    The rate per ounce at that time was = $0.23/ounce

    Total weight of Peter's package = Total price paid by peter / rate per ounce

    Total weight of Peter's package = $2.07/$0.23 per ounce

    We now have to divide 2.07/0.23 = 207/23 (Shifting both numerator and denominator by 2 decimal places) = 9

    Total weight of Peter's package = 9 ounces
