Question goes thus:

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:

There are 500 g of candy in each bowl served at the party

Explanation:

Given

Size of candy = 4,500 g

Saved candy = 1 kg

Number of bowls = 7

Required

Size of candy served per bowl.

From the question, 1 kg of candy was saved to eat at a later time.

This means that the candy shared at the party is 1kg less than the total candy made.

Mathematically, we have

Shared candy = Total candy - saved candy

Shared candy = 4,500g - 1kg

----------------------------

Convert 1kg to grams

1 kg = 1,000 g.

----------------------------

So,

Shared candy = 4,500g - 1,000g

Shared candy = 3,500g

To get the size of candy in each bowl, we divide the shared candy by number of bowls.

Size of candy = 3,500 ÷ 7

Size of candy = 500.

Hence, there are 500 g of candy in each bowl served at the party
