A toy company had an order of five boxes to ship unfortunately this was 17 pounds over the shipping weight limit per order of each box weighs 9 pounds what is the maximum shipping weight per order?

28 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a total of 5 boxes, now we know that each box weighs 9 pounds, therefore:

Total weight = 5 * 9 = 45 pounds

Which means there are 45 pounds in total.

We are told that the limit is exceeded by 17 pounds. To find the limit weight, it is necessary to subtract the total weight and the excess:

45-17 = 28 pounds

Therefore, the maximum weight allowed per shipment is 28 pounds.
