Question

An empty box weighs 1 kg 240 g. When filled with oranges it weighs 19 kg 70 g. What is
the weight of the oranges ?

Answer 1

Weight of empty box = 1 kg 240 g = 1.240 kg
Weight of box with oranges = 19 kg 70 g = 19.070 kg
$\therefore$ Weight of oranges
= 19.070 kg – 1.240 kg
$19070-1240\overline{\underset{–}{17.830}}$
Weight of oranges = 17.830 kg
