    736 Kg

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the weight of the box be x, then

    the weight of each ball = 3x

    Sum the weight of the box and 3 balls and equate to 1840, that is

    x + 3x + 3x + 3x = 1840

    10x = 1840 (divide both sides by 10)

    x = 184

    The weight of the box = 184 Kg and the weight of 1 ball = 3 * 184 = 552 Kg

    The weight of the box and 1 ball = 184 + 552 = 736 Kg
