Kamala had5,026 grams of flour in a canister. She bought 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 in the bag. How much is in the bag now?

Question

Kamala had5,026 grams of flour in a canister. She bought 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 in the bag. How much is in the bag now?

Answer 1

5026 + x = 2(4157-x)

x = 1096

so, bag now has 4157-1096 = 3061

Answer 2

3061 i think make sure to check before you listen to me lol😜

Answer 3

To determine how much flour is in the bag now, we need to understand the given information.

Let's denote the amount of flour poured from the bag to the canister as 'x' grams.

Initially, Kamala had 5,026 grams of flour in the canister and bought a 4,157 gram bag of flour. After pouring some flour into the canister, the mass of the flour in the canister became twice the mass of the flour in the bag.

So we can set up the equation:

(5,026 + x) = 2(4,157 - x)

Now we can solve this equation to find the value of 'x' and determine how much flour is left in the bag.

Let's solve the equation step by step:

5,026 + x = 8,314 - 2x (distributing the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses)

Combine like terms:

3x = 3,288

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 1,096

Therefore, the amount of flour left in the bag is 1,096 grams.
