Question

A pack of sugar and a tin of sardines together weigh 625g and 5 pack of sugar and four tins of sardines weigh 3000g.find the weigh of 2 pack of sugar and two tins of sardines.

Answer 1

Answer:

answer :- 2 pack of sugar is 1000g and 2 tins of sardines is 250g

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let one pack of sugar weigh x gms

let one tin of sardine weigh y gms

acc to the first condition

x+y=625

acc to the second condition

5x+4y=3000

multiply eqn 1 by 5, we get

5x+5y= 3125

subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3, we get

y = 125gms

substitute this value of y in eqn 1, we get

x = 500gms

therefore 2packs of sugar weigh 1000gms and 2tins of sardine weigh 250gms
