Respuesta :

Answer:

The weight of each file cabinet is 33 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The weight of set of files cabinets = 858 pounds

The total number of files cabinets = 26

Let the weight of each files cabinets = x pound

Now,

∵ The weight of 26 files cabinets = 858 pounds

∴, the weight of 1 files cabinets = [tex]\frac{858}{26}[/tex]

Or the weight of x files cabinets = [tex]\frac{858}{26}[/tex] = 33 pounds

So, x = 33 pounds

Hence The weight of each file cabinet is 33 pounds  . Answer
