A group of people attempt to bake the largest vegan cake the used 17 kilograms of cocoa powder which is about one-tenth the amount of dates. How many kilograms of cocoa powder and dates do they use?

187 kilogram

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the kilogram of dates be represented by x.

Since they used 17 kilograms of cocoa powder which is about one-tenth the amount of dates. The dates will be:

= 1/10 × x = 17

0.1x = 17

x = 17/0.1

x = 170 kilogram

Date = 170 kilogram.

Cocoa powder = 17 kilogram

The total kilogram of date and cocoa powder used will be:

= 170 + 17

= 187 kilogram
