    Each container weighs 35 pounds.

    Apiece of toy car = 2 pounds, then 10 piece toy cars = 20 pounds.

    Therefore 20 pounds of toy car + 15 pounds of container = 35 pounds.

    Apiece of toy truck = 3 pounds, then 10 piece toy trucks = 30 pounds.

    Therefore 30 pounds of toy truck + 5 pounds of container = 35 pounds.
