The weight of the pan can be calculated by finding the difference between the total weight of the pan with eggs and the weight of the eggs alone.

First, we need to find the weight of one egg.

If four eggs weigh 18 ounces, then one egg weighs 18/4 = 4.5 ounces.

Next, we need to find the weight of the pan without any eggs.

If eight eggs weigh 24 ounces, then the weight of the eggs alone is 8 * 4.5 = 36 ounces.

Therefore, the weight of the pan is 36 - 24 = 12 ounces.

So, the weight of the pan is 12 ounces.
