If 5 boxes of soup weight 75kg and each box when empty weigh 3 kg, what is the weight of soup?
Answer: 60 kg
Explanation
We are given:
Total weight of 5 boxes with soup = 75 kg
Weight of each empty box = 3 kg
Step 1: Calculate the total weight of empty boxes
Since there are 5 boxes and each empty box weighs 3 kg:
5 boxes×3 kg=15 kg (total box weight)
Step 2: Subtract the empty box weight from the total weight
75 kg (total)−15 kg (boxes)=60 kg (soup only)
