a) Difference in the weight of 3 bags of oregano and a bag of pepper.

We know that 3 bags of oregano would be: 3m

And for a bag of pepper would be n/2.

Then, the difference between them;


(3m-(n)/(2))\text{ grams}

b) By the information given:

If m =200 and n=300.


\begin{gathered} \Delta w=3(200)-(300)/(2) \\ \Delta w=600-150 \\ \Delta w=450\text{ grams} \end{gathered}
