A canvas shopping bag has a mass of 600 grams. When 5 cans of equal mass are put into the bag, the filled bag has a mass of 4 kilograms. What is the mass of each can in grams?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mass of each can = 680 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of a canvas shopping bag  = 600 grams Or [tex]\frac{600}{1000}[/tex] Kilograms

                                                      = 0.6 Kilograms

Let the mass of each can = w Kilograms

Then the mass of 5 cans = 5w Kilograms

Total mass of the bag when these cans were kept in the bag = 4 Kilograms

(5w + 0.6) = 4

5w + 0.6 - 0.6 = 4 - 0.6

5w = 3.4

w = [tex]\frac{3.4}{5}[/tex]

   = 0.68 Kilograms

   = [tex]0.68\times 1000[/tex]

   = 680 grams

Therefore, mass of each can = 680 grams
