Answer:

|540 - g|

|g - 540|

Explanation:

Given that:

Weight of box = g

Desired weight = 540

Hence, to obtain the difference between the weight of the box and the desired weight ; the result could either be lesser or larger then desired weight ; However , since we do not know If it is lesser or higher, then we take the absolute value ; so that we always obtain a positive value.

The difference will thus be either ;

Weight of box - desired weight : |g - 540|

OR

deaired weight - weight of box : |540 - g|
