A pan with four eggs weighs 18 ounces of pan with eight eggs weighs 24 ounces. What is the weight of the pan?

1 answer

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.
