In order to save on imported fuel, Philippine researchers propose blending diesel with coconut methyl ester (CME) or cocodiesel derived from trans-esterification of high grade coconut oil. The mixture of these two compounds is called CME-Diesel Blend. The density of CME is 785 kg/m while that of diesel is 885 kg/m. If a 150 L fuel tank of a truck is fully filled with CME-Diesel Blend with a density of 840 kg/m°, how many kilograms of CME and diesel are in the tank?

In order to save on imported fuel, Philippine researchers propose
blending diesel with coconut methyl ester (CME) or cocodiesel derived
from trans-esterification of high grade coconut oil. The mixture of these
two compounds is called CME-Diesel Blend. The density of CME is 785
kg/m3 while that of diesel is 885 kg/m³. If a 150 L fuel tank of a truck is
fully filled with CME-Diesel Blend with a density of 840 kg/m, how many
kilograms of CME and diesel are in the tank?
