weight of an grapefruit=weight of an <span>orange+8% weight of an orange
</span>weight of an orange=weight of an apple<span> +10% weight of an apple
</span>
-> weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple + 8%(weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple)= weight of an apple + 18% weight of an apple + 2% weight of an apple= <span>weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple 

</span><span>b.By what percentage is the apple lighter than the grapefruit?
</span>weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple<span>

does anybody have an easy way of finding the factors of a number without spending a long time on it? (a number like 288)
Natali [406]
There are quite a few websites that have factor lists. Also, if you can find the biggest number that goes into it, then all of the factors of that number go into it as well.

If you earn $48,000 per year, how much will you receive on a biweekly basis?
Harrizon [31]

$48,000 a year is $1,846.15 biweekly before taxes and approximately $1,384.62 after taxes. Paying a tax rate of around 25% and working full-time at 40 hours a week, you would earn $1,384.62 after taxes. To calculate how much you make biweekly before taxes, you would multiply $23.08 by 40 hours and 2 weeks
