Solving a system of equations we can see that:
They need to use 80kg of the 60% chocolate and 20kg of the 40% chocolate.

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.

Step-by-step explanation:
Distance to the star in light years = 3 * 0.62 * 9.5 * 10^12 = 1.767 * 10^13 miles
dividng this by 17,000 gives 1.039411765 * 10^9 hours
Answer:
4 / 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The mean is the average of the data
To find the average you add all the numbers and divide the sum by the amount of numbers you added
14 + 19 + 13 + 22 + 7 = 75
You add 5 numbers so
75/5 = 15
The answer is 15
Hope this helps!
