1 kg of cocoa = x

1 kg of coffee = y

x=y-3.60 -------------------- 1

then

2y + 3x = 74.20-----------2

substitute equation 1 in 2 .

2y + 3(y- 3.60) = 74.20

2y + 3y - 9.18 = 74.20

5y - 9.18 = 74.20

5y = 65.02

y = 65.02 / 5

y = 13.004

1 kg of coffee powder = 13.004

put y in equation 1

x = y - 3.60

x= 13.004 - 3.60

x = 9.404

1 kg of cocoa = 9.404

Can you change drinking coffee into coffee essence?

Not really, but you might add a few things to make the coffee more potent and easier to get a total coverage of coffee blend into a cake or something. Try mixing in some melted Copha or shortening. Pure coffee extract, liquor or essence is extracted from the inner membrane of the coffee fruit itself (I forget the actual name of it) and not so much the bean, although some beans are ground into the ones bought on the supermarket shelves for that familiar colour, aroma and flavor. The coffee fruit is very bitter and quite inedible. The same applies to cocoa. Cocoa butter is extracted from the cacao pod membrane beneath the skin for the sole purpose of mixing ithe ingredients to create a solid chocolate block. Without cocoa butter, chocolate is just another bitter coffee drink (aka, "xocoulatl", ie. bitter water).
