Question

Omar's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of coffee types A and B. In one bag of the blend, there are 4 kilograms of type A. Six bags of the blend are a total of 48 kilograms. How many kilograms of type B are there in one bag?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given:

1 blend = type a + type b

1 bag of the blend = 4 kilograms of type a

6 bags of the blend = total of 48 kilograms

Type a + type b = 48/6

= 8 kilograms in 1 bag of blend = total kilogram

But 1 bag of blend has 4 kilogram of type a

Therefore, type b = total kilogram in 1 bag of blend - 4 kilogram of type a

= 8 - 4

= 4 kilogram of type b

Answer 2

4kg type B coffee in each of the bags

Explanation:

In this question, we are obviously dealing with coffees. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? Okay!

We are tasked with finding the amount in kilograms of type B coffee present in a bag of coffee.

We already know that in a bag , there are 4kg of type A coffee. Hence, in 6 bags, what we will be having would be 6 * 4kg = 24kg of type A coffee

The total kilograms of coffee in 6 bags of coffee is 48kg. Now we know we have 24kg of type A, the amount of type B coffee present is thus 48kg -24kg = 24kg

In one bag? This is equal to 24kg/6 = 4kg type B coffee in each bag
