Answer:

The number of goody bags inside the box=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the box weighs 200g

given the weight each goody bag be 150g.

Let the number of  goody bag be x

Also given that the weight of the bag Long with the goody bags is 6.2Kg.

We know that 1Kg =1000 g.

So total weight=[tex]6.2*1000[/tex]=6200g

Total weight=weight of the bag + the number of goody bags * the weight of each goody bag.

Now

6200=200+[tex]150*x[/tex]

[tex]x=6000/150[/tex]=40

Therefore there are 40 goody bags
