Question

Sunita purchased 5 kg 75 g of fruits and 3 kg of 465 g of vegetables and put them in a bag. If this bag with these contents weighs 9 kg, find the weight of the empty bag.

Answer 1

Weight of the fruits =                                  5 kg 075 g
Weight of the vegetables =                     + 3 kg 465 g
Total weight of the contents of the bag =  8 kg 540 g

Total weight of the bag with its contents =   9 kg 000 g
Total weight of the contents of the bag =  − 8 kg 540 g
Weight of the empty bag =                            0 kg 460 g
Thus, the weight of the empty bag is 460 grams.
