Tea Bags of Earl Grey tea weigh 2 grams each, and bags of green tea weigh 3 grams each. A restaurant makes ice tea using 2/5 of the weight from the tea of Earl Grey tea, and 3/5 of green tea. If 180 bags of Earl Grey tea are used, how many bags of green tea are needed?

Answer (Still a Theory)
2/5 are 40%, and 40% = 4.
3/5 are 60%, and 60% = 6.
In total, there needs to be 100% in total( 4+6= 10, ×10 for percentage)
And, if there are 180 bags, you just need to do 180 ÷ 4 (45) ×6 = 270.

However, this is just a theory, and I just do not know if this is correct or not, so... IDK

180 bags of EG (at 2 oz each) ... 360 oz EG ... this is 2/5 of the total weight

total weight is ... 360 oz / (2/5) = 900 oz

so, 540 oz green tea (at 3 oz each) ... 540 / 3 = ? bags green tea

180(Earl Grey)/(2/5)= 450(Total)
450-180=270(Green Tea)
Answer = 270

180 divided by 2=90
90=1/5
90x3=270
270=3/5(number of green tea bags needed)

It is 180, the reason is there weight, Earl is 2g and Green is 3g. Earl is 2/5 Green is 3/5. This means there is a 1:1 ratio between Earl and Green tea bags
