The filled bag has a mass of 4 kilograms, which is 4000 grams.
The mass of the empty bag is 600 grams.
So the total mass of the cans is 4000 grams - 600 grams = 3400 grams.
Since there are 5 cans of equal mass, we can divide 3400 grams by 5 to find the mass of each can:
3400 grams / 5 = 680 grams
Therefore, each can has a mass of 680 grams.
