A bag full of sugar weighs 16 kg. A bag full of salt weighs 30 kg. If you remove 4 kg from the combined weight of these two bags, how much do the bags now weigh? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
The bags together weigh 16 + 30 = 46 kg. Removing the 4 kg, the bags will weigh 46 - 4 = 42 kg.
Therefore, the answer is 42.
