Answer:
2.6 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
let's set a few variables for this one.
weight of the empty container: a
weight of the goods: b
the given information:
- b = 4a
- b - a = 7.8kg
we can replace b with 4a as b = 4a.
here are the rest of the steps to simplify this.
4a - a = 7800g
3a = 7800g
a = (7800/3)g
a = 2600g
a = 2.6 kg
