Answer:

Bag a, by 85 grams!

Explanation:

1) Work out the weight of bag a

1 banana is 140 grams so to find out 8 you have to multiply them

140 x 8 = 1120

Bag a = 1120 grams

2) Work out the weight of bag b

1 pineapple weight 345 grams so to find out 3 you have to multiply them just like above

345 x 3 = 1035

Bag b = 1035

3) Find the difference

Bag a is 1120 grams and bag b is 1035

To find out out by how much you just have to subtract them

1120 - 1035 = 85

Hope this helps, have a great day!
