Cory made 4500 g of candy. He saved 1 kg to eat later. He divided the rest of the candy over 7 bowls to serve at his party.

How many grams of candy did Cory serve in each bowl?

Answer:

500 g

Explanation:

4,500 - 1,00 = 3,500

Then you HAVE to DIVIDE 3,500 by 7 which equals 500

SOOO the answer is 500g

Cory made 4500 g of candy. He saved 1 kg (=1000 g) to eat later.

4500 \ g - 1000 \ g = 3500 \ g

He divided the rest (3500 g) of the candy over 7 bowls.

3500 \ g / 7=500 \ g

Cory served 500 g of candy in each bowl.
