He will have to take out 20 hectograms in order to meet the weight limit.

Answer: 20 hg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Alonzo's suitcase can weigh no more than 20 kilograms if he wants to take it on the airplane without paying a fee.

Let x denote the weight of suitcase, then

[tex]x\leq20kg[/tex]

We know that 1 kg =10 hg

Therefore, 20kg=[tex]20\times10=200hg[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x\leq200hg[/tex]

Since, the weight of his suitcase is 220 hg.

The amount of weight will Alanzo have to take out of his suitcase to meet the weight limit will be :-

[tex]D=220-200=20[/tex]

Hence, 20 hg of weight have to take out of his suitcase to meet the weight limit.
