Question

A) 500 g
B) 550 g
C) 600 g
D) 650 g

Answer 1

To find the amount of candy served in each bowl, subtract 1kg from 4,500g and divide the remaining candy equally among 7 bowls.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of candy served in each bowl, we need to subtract the candy set aside from the total amount of candy and then divide the remaining candy equally among the 7 bowls.

Given that Cory made 4,500g of candy and set aside 1kg (which is equal to 1000g), we can subtract 1000g from 4500g to get 3500g.

Finally, to find the amount of candy served in each bowl, we divide 3500g by 7, which gives us 500g. Therefore, the amount of candy served in each bowl is 500g.
