Kamala had 5,026 grams of flour in a canister. She brought a 4,157 gram bag of flour. She poured some flour from the bag to the canister. As a result, the mass of the flour in the canister is now twice the mass of the flour left in the bag. How much flour is in the bag now?

5026 +(4157-x) = 2 (x)

5026 + 4157 = 3x

x = 3061 left in the bag

check
amount poured = 4157-3061 = 1096
amount in canister = 1096+5026 = 6122
6122/ 2 = 3061 Caramba !

I looked this up so i would know the answer so like idk duh lol😂

To find out how much flour is in the bag now, we can use algebraic equations.

Let's assume that the mass of flour poured from the bag to the canister is 'x'.

Initially, Kamala had 5,026 grams of flour in the canister, and after pouring 'x' grams of flour from the bag, the mass of flour in the canister became 2 times the mass of flour remaining in the bag.

So, the equation representing this situation is:
5026 + x = 2(4157 - x)

Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of 'x', which represents the amount of flour poured from the bag to the canister.

Expanding the equation:
5026 + x = 8314 - 2x

Combining like terms:
3x + 5026 = 8314

Subtracting 5026 from both sides:
3x = 3288

Dividing both sides by 3:
x = 1096

Therefore, 1096 grams of flour were poured from the bag to the canister.

To find out the amount of flour left in the bag, we subtract the amount poured from the initial amount in the bag:
4157 - 1096 = 3061

So, there are 3061 grams of flour in the bag now.
