Answer:
1 guava = 3oranges
so 9 guava = 27 oranges
27 + 9ornges+weight of bag = 3.76kg
since 1 guava is 3 oranges
substitute 1 guava with 3 oranges
9 oranges +3 oranges = 3.76-2.56
12 oranges= 1.2kg
1 orange =0.1kg
36 oranges =3.6 kg
weight of bag = 3.76-3.6
= 0.16 kg
weight of bag when empty is 0.16 kg or 16 grams
