Question

Avery uses a blend of dark chocolate and milk chocolate to make the ice cream topping at her restaurant. She wants to buy 10 kg more of dark chocolate than milk chocolate and she needs 150 kg of chocolate in total for her next order. Let d be the number of kilograms of dark chocolate he buys and m be the number of kilograms of milk chocolate she buys. Which system of equations represents this situation?

Answer 1

Let

the amount of Milk chocolate = m,

the amount of Dark chocolate = d.

Avery wishes to buy 10 kg more of dark chocolate than milk chocolate.

This can be represented by the equation,

d= m + 10

Avery requires 150 kg of chocolate for the next order.

This can be represented by the equation,

m+ d = 150

Therefore, The system of equations,

d + m = 150

d- m = 10

will represent the situation.

Solving the equations

d + m = 150

d- m = 10

Adding gives, 2d = 160, d = 80

From d + m = 150, m = 70

Therefore, Avery will need to buy 70 kg of Milk Chocolate and 80 kg of Dark chocolate.

Answer 2

d = m + 10

d + m = 150
