Question

A candy shop bought 40 kilograms of jelly beans in bulk. A worker repackaged some of the bulk jelly beans into 72 cellophane bags. If the worker filled each cellophane bag with 114 grams of jelly beans, how many grams of the bulk jelly beans remain?

Answer 1

The candy shop has 31,792 grams of bulk jelly beans remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the remaining grams of bulk jelly beans, we need to subtract the total grams of candy in the cellophane bags from the initial amount of bulk jelly beans.

First, we need to convert the kilograms to grams by multiplying by 1000. So, 40 kilograms becomes 40,000 grams.

Next, we multiply the number of cellophane bags by the amount of jelly beans in each bag: 72 bags * 114 grams/bag = 8,208 grams.

Finally, we subtract the amount in the bags from the initial amount: 40,000 grams - 8,208 grams = 31,792 grams.
