Question

a bucket filled with water weighs 30kg when 4/5 of it filled with water it weighs 26 know find the weight of empty bucket

Answer 1

Let,  Weight of bucket = y kg

and amount of water when, it is fully filled = x kg

so, y + x = 30

and, y + 4x/5 = 26

so, solving Eqns. x = 20 and y = 10

so, weight of bucket = 10 kg

Answer 2

total weight of the bucket when filled with water = 30 kg

weight when 4/5 is filled = 26

it means 1/5 is equal to 4kg

then 5/5 is equal to =20 kg

bucket weight is = 30 -20 =10 kg
