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
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.
