3 tins of soup and 2 packets of soup have a total weight of 710 grams.
Work out the total weight of 4 tins of soup and 3 packets of soup.

Answer 1

Answer:955

Explanation:

1100=5 tins

1100 ÷5=220

one tin=220

3 tins +2 packets=710

3(220)+2 packets=710

660+2 packets=710

710-660=50

2 packets= 50

50÷2=25

one packet=25

4(220)+3(25)=?

880+75=955

answer is 955 grams

Answer 2

1100=5tins (t)

t= 220

3t+2packets=710

3(220)+2p=710

p=25

4t+3p=?

4(220)+3(25)= 955
