Question

A traveler is packing for a trip and fills the bag with 8 identical boxes so that it weighs 36 pounds. The empty bag weighs 4 pounds. How much does each box weigh

Answer 1

Each box weighs 4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Total weight of bag after packing = 36 pounds

Weight of empty bag = 4 pounds

If we exclude the weight of empty bag from the total weight we will get the weight of the boxes.

So,

Weight of boxes = 36-4 =32 pounds

So the weight of identical boxes is 32 pounds.

Total boxes = 8

So,

$Weight\ of\ one\ box=\frac{Total\ weight}{No.\ of\ Boxes}\\=\frac{32}{8}\\=4\ pounds$

Each box weighs 4 pounds
