First, w can set up an equation.
ReplyDeleteLet x be the total weight of chocolates:
x - (3x/20 + 1.2) - (3x/5 + 0.3) = 0
x - 3x/20 - 1.2 - 3x/5 - 0.3 = 0
x - (3x/20 + 1.2 + 3x/5 + 0.3) = 0
x - (3x/4 + 1.5) = 0
x - 3x/4 - 1.5 = 0
x/4 - 1.5 = 0
x/4 = 1.5
x = 6.
This gives us 6kg for the total amount of chocolates
