Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct choice is marked.
If you follow instructions, you will compute the quotient for each value in the set:
2520 ÷ 30 = 84
2520 ÷ 42 = 60 . . . . . the value we're looking for (we need go no further)
2520 ÷ 84 = 30
__
The easier way to solve the problem is to multiply the equation by x/60, so you have ...
2520 ÷ 60 = x
Then, you're doing one division instead of two or three.
2520 ÷ 60 = 42 = x

<u>System Of Equations </u>
We know the scale shows a false reading for the weights by a constant value. Let's call e the weight it adds or subtracts from the real weight it measures.
When the box is put on the scale, the real weight is b, but the scale shows
When the bag is weighted, the real value is g, but the scale shows
Finally, when both are measures, the real weight is b+g and the scale shows
We have formed a system of equations. It's easy to find the value of b, we just need to subtract the last two equations
