Dionne has six steel balls of equal mass. If she puts five of them in one pan of a beam balance and one ball and a 100 g mass in the other pan, the pans balance each other. What is the mass of each steel ball?

PLEASE HELP

Answer:

25g

Explanation:

If one ball + 100g = 5 balls, then 100g = 4 balls

100/4 = 25
