What is the mass of each can in grams?

A.
120 grams

B.
680 grams

C.

D.
800 grams

1 answer

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).
