Answer:

3900 g

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Original Soccer Balls:

There were 5 soccer balls, and each one had an average weight of 300 grams.

The total weight of these 5 balls was 5 × 300 = 1500 grams.

2. Adding a Large Soccer Ball:

When we add one big soccer ball, the average weight becomes 3 times more, which is 3 × 300 = 900 grams.

3. New Total Weight:

  Now, there are 6 balls, and their total weight is 6 × 900 = 5400 grams.

4. Weight of the Large Ball:

To find the weight of the large soccer ball, subtract the total weight of the 5 original balls from the new total weight:

5400g - 1500 g = 3900 g
