The correct Answer is:
To find the weight of the empty bag, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert all weights to the same unit We will convert kilograms to grams for easier calculation. - Weight of potatoes: 13 kg 750 g = (13 × 1000) + 750 = 13000 + 750 = 13750 g - Weight of tomatoes: 8 kg 80 g = (8 × 1000) + 80 = 8000 + 80 = 8080 g - Total weight of the bag: 22 kg 200 g = (22 × 1000) + 200 = 22000 + 200 = 22200 g ### Step 2: Calculate the total weight of the potatoes and tomatoes Now, we will add the weights of the potatoes and tomatoes. Total weight of potatoes and tomatoes = Weight of potatoes + Weight of tomatoes = 13750 g + 8080 g = 21830 g ### Step 3: Calculate the weight of the empty bag To find the weight of the empty bag, we will subtract the total weight of the potatoes and tomatoes from the total weight of the bag. Weight of the empty bag = Total weight of the bag - Total weight of potatoes and tomatoes = 22200 g - 21830 g = 370 g ### Step 4: Convert the weight of the empty bag back to kilograms and grams We can convert 370 g back to kilograms and grams. Weight of the empty bag = 370 g = 0 kg 370 g ### Final Answer The weight of the empty bag is **0 kg 370 g**. ---
