Answer:

The amount of flour added to each box was 0.64 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount of flour added to each box in kg

Remember that

1 kg=1,000 g

8,600 g=8,600/1,000=8.6 kg

we know that

The linear equation that represent this situation is

(8.6+x)=4(1.67+x)

Solve for x

8.6+x=6.68+4x

4x-x=8.6-6.68

3x=1.92

x=0.64 kg
