Problema Solution

a farmer bought 85 kg of fertilizer in 12 bags.some are 5 kg. the rest are 10 kg bags. how man 5 kg bags did he buy?

Answer provided by our tutors

let number of 5 kg bags = x

then number of 10 kg bags = 12-x

total kg = 85 kgs

therefore 5x+10(12-x) = 85

5x+120-10x = 85

ie x = 7 bags
