Question

The total weight of a bag containing 13 kg 750 g of potatoes and 8 kg 80 g of
tomatoes is 22 kg 200 g. How much is the weight of the empty bag?
Weight of potatoes = 13 kg 750 g = 13.750 kg
Weight of tomatoes = 8 kg 80 g = + 8.080 kg
Total weight of vegetables
21.830 kg
Total weight of the bag and vegetables - 22.200 kg
Total weight of vegetables in it = - 21.830 kg
Weight of the empty bag
0.370 kg
Hence, the weight of the empty bag = 0.370 kg
=
= 370 g.​

Answer 1

Given:

Weight of potatoes = 13 kg 750 g = 13.75 kg

Weight of tomatoes = 8 kg 80 g = 8.08 kg

Total weight of the bag = 22 kg 200 g = 22.2 kg

To find:

The weight of the empty bag.

Solution:

To find the weight of the bag let us subtract the weight of potatoes and tomatoes from the total weight of the bag.

= 22.2 - 13.75 - 8.8

= 0.37 kg

On converting the unit into grams, we get:

= 370 g

Thus, the weight of the empty bag will be 370 g.
