Each egg weighs 1 ounce.
If a pan with four eggs weighs 18 ounces, then the weight of the eggs alone is 4 ounces (18 - 4*1 = 14).
If a pan with eight eggs weighs 24 ounces, then the weight of the eggs alone is 8 ounces (24 - 8*1 = 16).
The difference in weight between the two pans is 2 ounces (16 - 14 = 2).
Therefore, the weight of the pan alone is 2 ounces.
A pan with four eggs weighs 18 ounces of pan with eight eggs weighs 24 ounces. What is the weight of the pan?
