Answer:

696 large bags of flour were packed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let large bags of flour be 'y'

Let small bags of flour be 'x'. That is x=2040 (according to the question)

[tex](3 \times x) + (5 \times y) = 9600[/tex]

[tex](3 \times 2040) + ( 5 \times y) = 9600[/tex]

[tex](6120) + (5 \times x) = 9600[/tex]

[tex](5 \times x) = 9600 - 6120[/tex]

[tex](5 \times x) = 3480[/tex]

[tex]x = 3480 \div 5[/tex]

[tex]x = 696[/tex]
