To convert the weight of the luggage from kilograms to grams, we need to remember that 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams.
Given:
- The weight of the luggage in kilograms is 40.24 kg.
To find the weight in grams, we use the conversion factor:
[tex]\[ \text{Weight in kg} \times 1000 = \text{Weight in grams} \][/tex]
Plugging in the given weight:
[tex]\[ 40.24 \, \text{kg} \times 1000 = 40240 \, \text{grams} \][/tex]
Therefore, the weight of the luggage in grams is [tex]\( 40,240 \)[/tex] grams.
So, the correct answer is:
C. [tex]\( 40,240 \, g \)[/tex]
