A delivery company charges $3\$3 for every kilogram or part of a kilogram that a parcel weighs (so a 1.21.2 kg parcel costs the same as a 22 kg parcel). Ana has four packages weighing 2.32.3 kg, 1.41.4 kg, 800800 g and 650650 g. How many dollars does she save by packing all four into one parcel (ignore the weight of the wrapping) instead of sending four parcels?
