- Question
The total weight of a tin and the cookies it contains is 2 pounds. After ¾ of the cookies are eaten, the tin and the remaining cookies weigh 0.8 pounds. What is the weight of the empty tin in pounds?
Options- A. 0.2
- B. 0.3
- C. 0.4
- D. 0.5
- Correct Answer
- 0.4
ExplanationLet the weight of the empty tin = w
(2 - w) = weight of the cookies; and one quarter of the cookies weigh (2 - w)/4
One quarter of the cookies + tin = 0.8 = w + (2 - w)/4
Multiply through by 4; 3.2 = 4w + 2 - w
1.2 = 3w; w = 0.4

Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
The smallest value will be obtained by giving x the smallest possible value while y gets the largest possible value. The smallest value for x = 7. This means that y will have to be less than or equal to 3 (so that x + y <11), but we want the largest value of y which is 3.
The difference, x - y will be 4.
