10 apples = n ounces
1 apples = n/10 ounces
n apples = n2/10 ounces
n2/10 < 40
n2 < 400
n < 20
The large bag contains at most 19 apples.
The weight of the large bag is at most 1.9n ounces, or (1 9/10)(n) ounces

Well no. "n" is a variable. We do not know how much each apple weighs, we only know that 10 weigh "n" ounces.
You are very welcome!
