Answer:  The overstated weight projected is 86.9167 lbs.

Explanation:

GIven: The projected weight of the baggage [tex]=2,182\frac14\ lbs[/tex]

= 2182.25 lbs  

The actual weight of the baggage [tex]=2,095\frac13\ lbs[/tex]

= 2095.33 lbs

The overstated weight = Projected weight - Actual weight

Overstated weight = 2182.24 - 2095.3333

Overstated weight = 86.9167 lbs

Hence, the overstated weight projected is 86.9167 lbs.
