Answer:

60 goody bags

Explanation:

1 kg = 1000 g

6.2 kg = 6,200 g

Empty box = 200 g

Box + goody bags = 6,200 g

Weight of Goody bags = Box + goody bags - empty box

= 6,200g - 200g

= 6,000 grams

Each goody bag = 100 g

how many goody bags are inside the box

Number of goody bag in the box = total weight of goody bag / weight of each goody bag

= 6,000 grams / 100 grams

= 60 goody bags

There are 60 goody bags in the box
