Let the weight of the empty lorry be x kg.
According to the question, the loaded lorry weighs 3 times as much as the empty lorry.
Therefore, the weight of the loaded lorry = 3x kg.
Given that the weight of the loaded lorry is 780 kg, we can set up the following equation:
3x = 780
Dividing both sides by 3:
x = 780 / 3
x = 260
The weight of the empty lorry is 260 kg.
Therefore, the weight of the bags of rice is:
3x = 3 * 260
= 780 kg
Therefore, the weight of the bags of rice is 780 kg.
