The video tutorial explains how to calculate the total weight of ten packages using a step-by-step approach. It begins with the problem statement, where nine packages have a known weight, and the tenth package weighs twice as much as one of the others. The tutorial demonstrates the calculation of the weight of the nine packages, followed by the tenth package. It then adds these weights to find the total. An alternative method for solving the problem is also discussed, which simplifies the calculation by considering the tenth package as an additional package.
