2.      Mrs. Johnson bought 3 packets of chicken breasts, each weighing 6.50 kg. She bought 2 packets of chicken thighs each weighing 5.9 kg., and 3 packets of whole legs each weighing 10.78 kg. She fried 8.28 kg. of thighs to sell and barbecued 25.6 kg whole legs to sell. If all the fried thighs and the barbecued legs were sold, how much chicken did Mrs. Johnson have left?
