A bucket containing 40 golf balls weighs 135 ounces. The same bucket with 20 golf balls weighs 75 ounces. What is the weight of the bucket?

Hi,

Think of the problem this way:

A bucket with 20 golf ball weighs 75 ounces

20 more balls are added to the bucket and it then weighs 135 ounces

How much do 20 balls weigh?

Cheers,
Claude
