Solution

Weight of the fruits = 5 kg 075 g
Weight of the vegetables = + 3 kg 465 g
Total weight of the contents of the bag = 8 kg 540 g

Total weight of the bag with its contents = 9 kg 000 g
Total weight of the contents of the bag = - 8 kg 540 g
Weight of the empty bag = 0 kg 460 g
Thus, the weight of the empty bag is 460 grams.
