amount poured into canister --- x g amount in canister = 5026 + x amount left in bag = 4157-x g 5026+x = 2(4157-x) 5026 + x = 8314 -2x 3x = 3288 x = 1096 amount left in bag = 4157-1096 = 3061 g

The easiest way for grade 4 student in my opinion
Twice in the canister + One left in the bag = 3

So the total should divided by 3 to get the one and the twice
The total = 5026 + 4157 = 9183
The bag = the total divided by 3 = 9183 / 3 = 3061
The Canister = Twice the Bag = 3061 Multiply 2 = 6122
