Question

Samir goes to a farmers market to buy some fruit. He fills a large bag with 24kg of apples. He realises that he cannot carry this weight,so puts some of the apples into a smaller bag. The weight of the apples in the large bag is 6kg larger than the smaller bag. What is the weight of the smaller bag

Answer 1

9 kg

The total weight is 24 kg. The difference between the large bag and the small bag is 6 kg. 15 + 9 = 24. 15 - 9 = 6. Therefore, the smaller bag weighs 9 kg.
