Explanation:

Step1: Add first and second box weights

To find the total weight, we start by adding the weight of the first box (\(12.82\) pounds) and the second box (\(24.57\) pounds).
\[12.82 + 24.57 = 37.39\]

Step2: Add the result to third box weight

Next, we add the weight of the third box (\(32.705\) pounds) to the sum we got in Step 1.
\[37.39 + 32.705 = 70.095\]

D. 70.095 pounds
