Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Move one bag’s mass into Open bag remaining in one edit.
  3. Calculate & Save the After values on the same item. Check the ID is retained rather than creating another physical item.

Calculation and observed tool result

Before

2 × 1000 + 0 = 2,000 g

Recorded quantity: 2,000 g.

After

1 × 1000 + 1000 = 2,000 g

Recorded quantity: 2,000 g.

What the result means

The total remains 2,000 g before any food is used.

Limits of this example

Later use must be reflected in the measured remainder.

A mistake to avoid

Opening alone should not reduce available mass.
