100-71=29

71% lost means 29% remains

you want that 29% to weigh 128lb

so 29% of original=128lb

remember, percent means parts out of 100
x%=x/100 so 29%=29/100
also, 'of' means multiply


29% of original=128
29/100 times original=128
multiply both sides by 100/29
original=12800/29
original=441.37931034482758620689655172414
so about 441lb of apples must be picked

−20 ≤ 59(F−32) ≤ −15
lubasha [3.4K]
We take the value of F in the inequality by taking the inequalities in group. Let the first group be:

(1)    -20 ≤ 59(F - 32)

Then, the second group would be,
(2)     59(F - 32) ≤ - 15

Calculating for the values of F,

(1)     -20 ≤ 59F - 1888
          1888 - 20 ≤ 59F
              1868 ≤ 59F
                 F ≥ 31.66

(2)     (59)(F - 32) ≤ - 15
             59F - 1888 ≤ -15
             59F ≤ 1873
                F ≤ 31.75

The values of F are therefore,
               31.66 ≤ F ≤ 31.75
