1.35kg = 1350g = 900+450g
2 balls and a box weight 450g more than one ball and the box.
So, a ball weighs 450g
Since a ball and a box weigh 900g, the box also weighs 450g.
2 balls and a box weight 450g more than one ball and the box.
So, a ball weighs 450g
Since a ball and a box weigh 900g, the box also weighs 450g.
