1. A box of crackers has a mass of p kilograms. When empty, the box
has a mass of 200 grams. What is the total mass of the crackers in
5 such boxes? Express your answer in kilograms.
(seems to me like the empty box part of this is there just to throw you off. Isn't the answer just 5p?)

no, the empty box is there so you can subtract it and see how much was crackers, not "tare weight" as it is called.
