You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The amount of chocolate from +50+ kg
of cocoa beans is:
+1000%2A56+=+56000+ grams
+56000%2A%28+1%2F1000+%29+=+56+ kg of chocolate
( there must be +6+ kg of other ingredients )
----------------------
Let +n+ = number of +85+ gram bars
from +50+ kg of cocoa beans
+85n+=+56000+
+n+=+658.82+
You can get 659 of the 85 g bars
