Question

There are 12 packets of sugear in a box. The weight of each packet is 2.84kg.If the total weight of box along with the packet is 36 kg .Lets calculate the weight in a box​

Answer 1

Given :

• Total no. of packets of sugar in box = 12
• Weight of each packet = 2.84 kg
• Total weight of box along with packets = 36 kg

To Find :

• Weight of box = ?

Solution :

We are given :

Weight of each packet = 2.84 kg

$\sf : \implies Weight \: of \: 12 \: packets = 12 \times 2.84 \: kg$

$\sf : \implies Weight \: of \: 12 \: packets = 12 \times \dfrac{284}{100} \: kg$

$\sf : \implies Weight \: of \: 12 \: packets = \dfrac{3408}{100} \: kg$

$\sf : \implies Weight \: of \: 12 \: packets = 34.08 \: kg$

Now, we have total weight of box along with packets = 36 kg

Therefore,

Weight of box = Total weight of box along with packets - Weight of 12 packets

$\sf : \implies Weight \: of \: box = 36 \: kg - \: 34.08 \: kg$

$\sf : \implies Weight \: of \: box = 36 \: kg - \: \dfrac{3408}{100} \: kg$

$\sf : \implies Weight \: of \: box = \dfrac{3600}{100} \: kg - \: \dfrac{3408}{100} \: kg$

$\sf : \implies Weight \: of \: box = \dfrac{3600 - 3408}{100} \: kg$

$\sf : \implies Weight \: of \: box = \dfrac{192}{100} \: kg$

$\sf : \implies Weight \: of \: box = 1.92 \: kg$

Hence, Weight of box is 1.92 kg.
