How much does the cart weigh?

Question

Jason was hauling concrete blocks in a cart. When he had one block in the cart, the total weight of the cart with the block was 55 pounds. When he had 4 blocks in the cart, the total weight of the cart and the blocks was 146.5 pounds. How much did the empty cart weigh? Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answer 1

146.5 - 55 = 91.5

91.5 / 30.5 lbs. for each block.

55 - 30.5 = _______ lbs. = weight of cart

Answer 2

I got 18.375

If its wrong can you please tell me your answer and how you solved it

I first divided 146.5 by 4 and got 36.625 then I subtracted 55 from 36.625
