To make a smoothie, Moira added 320 grams of water to 80 grams of oatmeal, 100 grams of mango, and some protein powder. If the smoothie weighed 520 grams, how much protein powder did she add?(1 point) Responses 3 grams 3 grams 20 grams 20 grams 430 grams 430 grams 200 grams 200 grams

To find out how much protein powder Moira added, we can set up the equation based on the total weight of the smoothie.

The total weight of the smoothie is given as 520 grams.

The weight of the other ingredients is:

  • Water: 320 grams
  • Oatmeal: 80 grams
  • Mango: 100 grams

Now, let's sum up the weights of the known ingredients:

320 grams (water) + 80 grams (oatmeal) + 100 grams (mango) = 500 grams

Now, we can find the weight of the protein powder by subtracting the total weight of the ingredients from the total weight of the smoothie:

Weight of protein powder = Total weight of smoothie - Total weight of other ingredients Weight of protein powder = 520 grams - 500 grams Weight of protein powder = 20 grams

So, Moira added 20 grams of protein powder.
