Carl's package weighed 8 pounds, as determined by analyzing the delivery service's pricing structure. The first pound costs $2.50, and each additional pound costs $0.75. By setting up an equation based on the total cost, we found that Carl's payment of $7.75 corresponds to a total weight of 8 pounds.
