Tyler is shipping gifts to a friend in a box with a weight limit of 50 pounds.
He carefully weighs each item before he places it into the box. Can Tyler,
place one more item in the box? The weights of the items are listed. Item
#1: 15.75 pounds, Item #2: 13.671 pounds, Item #3: 19 pounds

If you add up the weights of all the items, it already weighs 48.421 pounds. However, Tyler has yet to weigh the weight of the items plus the box. If he had weighed the items together with the box, I am certain that it would hit the 50 pound limit and hence Tyler is not able to put one more item into the box.
