Given that the hot chocolate is made of 480 grams of milk and 20 grams of cacao.
We need to determine the percentage of cacao in hot chocolate.
<u>The percentage of cacao:</u>
The total grams of hot chocolate can be determined by adding the total grams of milk and the total grams of cacao.
Total grams of hot chocolate = Grams of Milk + Grams of cacao
Total grams of hot chocolate = 480 + 20 = 500 grams.
Thus, the total grams of hot chocolate is 500 grams.
Now, we shall find the percentage of cacao.
The percentage of cacao is given by

Simplifying, the values, we get,

Thus, the percentage of cacao is 4%
4(x + 7) = 38
Since there is no operation sign between the 4 and parenthesis, it makes it an automatic multiplication problem.
You would use distributive property to multiply each which should leave your equation looking like this afterwards:
4x + 28 = 38
(4 times x and 4 times 7)
You would then solve it like a two step equation,
1. +28 - 28 = 0
2. 38 - 28 = 10
4x = 10
10 divided by 4 = 2.5
x = 2.5
We can recheck our work by substituting in the value of x.
4(2.5 + 7) = 38
10 + 28 = 38
When we substituted in the value, it gave us the correct inequality.
Therefore,
x = 2.5
