if we have for each box 26 grams of packing material, than for 12 boxes we will have
12*26g=312 g of packing material 
6.432k=6432 g

6432g-312g=6120 g
or 6.120 kg of oatmel

The actual weight of the oatmeal in the carton is 6.12 kg.

What is net weight?

The net weight of an item is the weight of the product without adding any packaging material or container weight.

According to our question,  

The total weight of the carton of 12 boxes of Quaker Oats Oatmeal:

Total weight =  6.432kg.

Packaging weight:

12 gm = 0.026kg per box.

for 12 boxes, 12(0.026) kg = 0.312 kg

Net weight = Total weight - Packaging weight

                   = 6.432 - 0.312 = 6.12 kg

Net weight = 6.12 kg

Hence the net weight of the oatmeal is 6.12 kg.
