Question

At the building site there are 16 pallets with sacks of cement the total weight of all the pallets and cement is 4856 pounds each pallet with cement weighs the same amount how much does each pallet with cement weigh

Answer 1

The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable.
 We have then:
 x: weight of each pallet with cement
 We then have the following equation:
 16x = 4856
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (4856) / (16)
 x = 303.5 punds
 Answer:
 each pallet with cement weigh:
 x = 303.5 punds
