144 A has a total weight of 34.165 Kg, same container 525 total of 105.412 Kg, What total for 372

Question

y=m*x+b    y= Total Weight,m= weight per apple,x= the number of apples, b=Container weight

Answer 1

144 apples in a container weigh 34.165 kg all together.

525 apples in the same container weight 105.412 kg all together.

Subtract those from each other like this:

525-144 = 381

105.412 - 34.165 = 71.247

381 apples weigh 71.247 kg (no container)

1 apple weighs 71.247 / 381 = 0.187 kg

Go back to one of the original equations

144 apples + container = 34.165

144 * 0.187 + container = 34.165

26.928 + container = 34.165

container = 34.165 - 26.928

container = 7.237 kg

Question:  How much does a container with 372 apples weigh?

372 * 0.187 + 7.237 = 76.801

Answer:  76.801 kg.
