Answer:

Weight of apples = 2.1 kg

Explanation:

Total kilograms of pears and apples = 8.4kg

Pears = 3/4 of the total weight

= 3/4 × 8.4

= (3*8.4) / 4

= 25.2 / 4

= 6.3 kg

Weight of pears = 6.3kg

Let Weight of apples = x

Total weight = Weight of pears + Weight of apples

8.4 = 6.3 + x

x = 8.4 - 6.3

x = 2.1 kg

Weight of apples = 2.1 kg
