Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Kendrick bought a total of $3.6$ ounces of chocolate.
2. $1.5$ ounces of the chocolate was milk chocolate.
3. The rest of the chocolate is dark chocolate.
4. We need to find out how much dark chocolate Kendrick bought.

STEP 2

1. Define the variable.
2. Set up an equation.
3. Solve the equation.

STEP 3

Let $x$ be the amount of dark chocolate in ounces that Kendrick bought.

STEP 4

Set up the equation based on the total amount of chocolate.
$x + 1.5 = 3.6$

STEP 5

Subtract $1.5$ from both sides to solve for $x$ .
$x + 1.5 - 1.5 = 3.6 - 1.5$ $x = 2.1$
The amount of dark chocolate Kendrick bought is:
$\boxed{2.1 \text{ ounces}}$
