Answer:
The upper bound for the total mass of the 50 parcels is 850 kilograms.
Step-by-step explanation:
From statement we infer that upper bound is represented by the 50 identical parcels completely full. Then, the upper bound is the product of number parcels and maximum capacity of each parcel:
[tex]m_{UP} = (50\,parcel)\cdot \left(17\,\frac{kg}{parcel} \right)[/tex]
[tex]m_{UP} = 850\,kg[/tex]
The upper bound for the total mass of the 50 parcels is 850 kilograms.
