Solution

First, let's calculate the total weight of the items Eli has already packed.

She has packed 2 pairs of boots that each weigh 1.2 kg. So, the total weight of the boots is 2 * 1.2 = 2.4 kg.

She has also packed her toiletry bag, which weighs 0.7 kg.

The suitcase itself weighs 3.5 kg.

So, the total weight of the items she has already packed is 2.4 kg (boots) + 0.7 kg (toiletry bag) + 3.5 kg (suitcase) = 6.6 kg.

Eli can bring 23 kg in total. So, the weight of the luggage she can still pack is 23 kg (total allowance) - 6.6 kg (weight of items already packed) = 16.4 kg.

Therefore, Eli can still pack 16.4 kg of luggage.
