Answer 1

Answer:

Lets assume weight of each apple as 'x' and the weight of empty basket as 'y'.

Also, 21kg 800 gm = 21800 gm && 8 kg 600 gm = 8600 gm

As per the given information

60x + y = 21800 --->I

8x + y = 8600 ----> II

Substracting II from I; gives you -

60x - 8x + y - y = 21800 - 8600

i.e. 52x = 13200

i.e. 8x = 1650

i.e. x = 253.84

a)

Substituting above in equation II gives...

8*253.84 + y = 8600

i.e. Weight of Empty Basket = y = 6569.23 gms = 6.57 Kg

b)

Weight of basket with 18 apples

= 8*253.84 + 6569.23

= 4569.23 + 6569.23

= 11138.46 gms

= 11.138 Kg
