Question

The weight of a bucket is 15 kg, when it is filled with water up to 3/5th of its capacity and the weight is 19 kg, if it is filled with water up to 4/5th of its capacity. Find the total weight of the bucket, if it is completely filled with water.

Answer 1

Answer:

23 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say bucket weight = b

Weight of water if filled fully = w

Then

b + 3w/5 = 15

5b + 3w = 75

b + 4w/5 = 19

5b + 4w = 95

4w -3w = 95-75

w = 20

5b + 3×20 = 75

5b = 15

b = 3

b + w = 3+20 = 23 kg
