Video Summary

Kangaroo Airlines allows a maximum baggage weight of 25 kilograms per passenger before charging an overweight fee. The Sierowskis together had 60 kilograms of baggage and paid $3 in fees, while Mr. Miklovich also had 60 kilograms but paid $10.50. The problem was solved by setting up equations with variables for total weight and fees, and solving for the maximum permitted weight. Through calculations involving substitutions and rearrangements, it was determined that the weight limit is 25 kilograms.
