(a)
Mass of candy bars = 1 set
Mass of chocolate bars = 4 sets
Mass of candy bars = (1932 - 644) ÷ 2 = 644 g
Mass of chocolate bars = 644 + 644 = 1288 g
Mass of 1 set of candy bars = 644 g
Mass of 1 set of chocolate bars = 1288 ÷ 4 = 322 g
Difference in the mass between 1 set of candy bars and 1 set of chocolate bars
= 644 - 322
= 322 g
Number of items in each set
= 322 ÷ 46
= 7
Number of chocolate bars
= 4 x 7
= 28
(b)
Mass of 1 candy bar
= 644 ÷ 7
= 92 g
Answer(s): (a) 28; (b) 92 g
