The weight of the pan is 12 ounces.
Let x be the weight of the pan and y be the weight of an egg. We can create a system of two equations based on the information given:
4y + x = 18
8y + x = 24
Subtracting the first equation from the second equation gives:
4y = 6
y = 1.5
Substitute y back into the first equation:
4(1.5) + x = 18
6 + x = 18
x = 12
Therefore, the weight of the pan is 12 ounces.
A pan with four eggs weighs 18 ounces a pen with eight eggs weighs 24 ounces. What is the weight of the pan?
