Given:
Total weight of the box=22kg 200g
The weight of mangoes=14kg 750g
The weight of apples=5kg 80g
To find:
The weight of the empty box
Solution:
The weight of the empty box is 2kg 370g.
We can find the weight by following the given steps-
We know that the required weight can be obtained by adding the weight of apples and mangoes and subtracting that from the total weight of the box.
We are given that the weight of mangoes=14kg 750g and the weight of apples=5kg 80g
The total weight of apples and mangoes=The weight of mangoes+The weight of apples
=14kg 750g+5kg 80g
=19kg 830g
Now, the weight of the empty box can be obtained by deducting the weight of apples and mangoes from the total weight of the box.
The weight of the empty box=Total weight of the box- the weight of apples and mangoes
=22kg 200g-19kg 830g
=2kg 370g
Therefore, the weight of the empty box is 2kg 370g.
