You can put this solution on YOUR website! Total weight=4.66 kg or 4660 gm
blue bars weigh 50 gm' x blue bars is 50 x gm
green bars weight 40 gm, and there are 100-x of them. The total weight is 4000-40 x gm
Therefore, 4000-40x+50x=4660
10x=660
x=66 blue bars (3300 gm)
100-x=34 green bars (1360 gm)
