Question

A baker has three bags of flour, A, B and C. Bag A and bag B contain the same amount of flour. Bag C contains 940 g of flour. In the three bags, there is a total of 2500 g of flour. Work out the amount of flour in bag A.​

Answer 1

Let's call the amount of flour in bag A and B as "x".

From the problem, we know that bag C contains 940g of flour.

We can set up an equation based on the total amount of flour in the three bags:

x + x + 940 = 2500

Simplifying this equation, we get:

2x + 940 = 2500

Subtracting 940 from both sides, we get:

2x = 1560

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x = 780

So each of the bags A and B contain 780g of flour.
