Raina's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of coffee types A and B. In one bag of the blend, there are
5
kilograms of type A. Eight bags of the blend are a total of
80
kilograms. How many kilograms of type B are there in one bag. what is the equation and answer.
80 / 8 = 10 kg per bag of blend
To find out how many kilograms of type B are there in one bag, we can set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's denote the number of kilograms of type B in one bag as 'x'.
We know that in one bag, there are 5 kilograms of type A and we have 8 bags in total, with a total weight of 80 kilograms.
So, the equation for the total weight of type A would be: 5 kg/bag * 8 bags = 40 kg.
Similarly, the equation for the total weight of type B would be: x kg/bag * 8 bags.
Since the total weight of both types must add up to 80 kg, we can set up the equation:
40 kg + x kg = 80 kg
To solve for x, we can subtract 40 kg from both sides of the equation:
x kg = 80 kg - 40 kg
x kg = 40 kg
Therefore, there are 40 kilograms of type B in one bag of the blend.
