Solving a system of equations we can see that:

They need to use 80kg of the 60% chocolate and 20kg of the 40% chocolate.

<h3>How to find how much of each candy needs to be used?</h3>

Let's define the variables:

  • x = kilograms of the 40% chocolate.
  • y = kilograms of the 60% chocolate.

They want to make 100kg, then:

x + y = 100

And the concentration must be of the 56%, then we can write:

x*0.4 + y*0.6 = (100)*0.56 = 56

Then we have a system of equations:

x + y = 100

x*0.4 + y*0.6 = 56

To solve this, we can isolate x on the first equation to get:

x = 100 - y

Now replace that in the other equation:

(100 - y)*0.4 + y*0.6 = 56

40 + y*0.2 = 56

y*0.2 = 16

y = 16/0.2 = 80

This means that they need to use 80kg of the 60% chocolate and the other 20kg of the 40% chocolate.
