For the bottles' basket






By comparing both total weights, 
Hence:
The basket of bottles weighs more than the basket of apples
Calculating the difference:





Hence:
It weighs more by
ounces
1) move the 10 over
So it becomes
3/4b = 10
2) multiply everything by 4 to get rid of the denominator
2b = 40
3) divide both sides by 2
b = 20
