Answer:
120 kg of 30% fat-content chocolate and 30 kg of 40% fat-content chocolate.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a candy distributor needs to mix a 30% fat-content chocolate with a 40% fat-content chocolate to create 150 kilograms of a 32% fat-content chocolate.
Let the amount of 30% fat-content chocolate be 'x' and the amount of 40% fat-content chocolate be 'y'.
So, according to the question;
x + y = 150 ------------ [equation 1]
and [tex]30\% \text{ of } x + 40\% \text{ of } y=32\% \text{ of } 150[/tex]
[tex]30x+40y= 32 \times 150[/tex]
[tex]30x+40\times (150-x)= 4800[/tex]
[tex]30x+6000-40x= 4800[/tex]
[tex]10x = 6000-4800[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{1200}{10}[/tex]
x = 120 kg
Now, putting the value of x in equation 1, we get;
x + y = 150
120 + y = 150
y = 30 kg
Hence, 120 kg of 30% fat-content chocolate and 30 kg of 40% fat-content chocolate.
