Kim made soup which contains 75 total ounces of beans. The soup has two kinds of beans, black and red. There are 4 times as many ounces of black beans as red beans. How many ounces of red beans are in the soup?

We let the number of red beans be x, this would make the number of black beans as 4x.

So:
[tex]x+4x=75 \\ 5x=75 \\ x=15[/tex]

This would mean there are 15 red beans in the soup.
