Question

A canvas shopping bag has a mass of 600 grams.
When 5 cans of equal mass are put into the bag, the filled bag has a mass of 4 kilograms.
What is the mass of each can in grams?

A.
120 grams

B.
680 grams

C.
720 grams

D.
800 grams
We can begin by setting up an equation using the given information. Let x be the mass of each can in grams. Then we have:

600 + 5x = 4000

Subtracting 600 from both sides, we get:

5x = 3400

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:

x = 680

Therefore, the mass of each can in grams is 680 grams. The answer is (B).
