<PRE><B>Question 941884</B>
total no of cookies  = 30
no of cookies eaten  = 1/3 of total
          ={{{(1/3)*30}}}
            = 10
 no of cookies remaining  = 30-10
       = 20
weight of each cookie = 1/2 once
 weight of 20 cookies  = 20* 1/2
         =10 ounces
weight of empty box  = 2 ounces
 weight of the box  = weight of remaining cookies +weight of empty box
              = 10+2
               = 12 ounces
Result : weight of the box  = 12 ounces
   weight of remaining cookies  =10 ounces
