Answer:

0.85 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with a bag that weighs 4.75 pounds and want to find the weight of the pairs added to the bag.

Let x equal the weight of the pairs added to the bag.

We can write an equation containing 4.75 pounds and x, and solve for x to find this weight value.

  • y = 4.75 + x  

We know that the final weight of the bag is 5.6 pounds, so we can substitute this value for y.

  • 5.6 = 4.75 + x

Subtract 4.75 from both sides of the equation.

  • 0.85 = x

The weight of the pairs added to the bag is 0.85 pounds.
