Answer 1

Answer:705 gram

Step-by-step explanation:

sand=x

marble =y

x+37y=1001

x+296=1001

x=705

Answer 2

Answer:

let weight of sand =X

and weight of marble=y

weight of bag=1000+1=1001g

=X+y

weight of each marble=8g

no of marble=37

total weight of marble=8×37=296g,

so,y=296g

X+y=1001g

X=1001-296=705g
