Correct Answer: 0.4
Explanation:
Let 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: 125

Correct Answer: 187
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.
Correct Answer: 15368
