The weight of each cereal bar is 1.4 oz.
What is an equation?
"It is a statement which consists of equal symbol between two mathematical expressions."
For given example,
Let 'x' be the weight of single cereal bar.
A box contains 12 cereal bars.
The empty box weighs 1.75 oz.
The box and the bars weigh 18.55 oz.
This means the the total weight of the box is:
total weight = weight of the empty box + weight of 12 cereal bars
So, we get an equation,
⇒ 18.55 = 1.75 + ('x' × 12)
We solve above equation to find the weight of each cereal bar.
⇒ 18.55 = 1.75 + 12x
⇒ 12x = 16.8
⇒ x = (16.8)/12
⇒ x = 1.4 oz.
Therefore, the weight of each cereal bar is 1.4 oz.
