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

The sum of two numbers is 72 and their difference is 26. find two numbers?
Archy [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  23, 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the smaller of the two numbers. Then the larger is s+26, and the sum is ...

  s + (s+26) = 72

  2s = 72 -26

  s = (72 -26)/2 = 23

Then the larger number is

  s +26 = 49

The two numbers are 23 and 49.

_____

The reason we wrote the solution this way is to show you that the smaller number is half the difference between the given sum (72) and difference (26). This is the generic solution to a "sum and difference" problem. The smaller number is always half the difference of the give sum and difference. (Similarly, the larger is always half the sum of the given sum and difference.)

That is, the two numbers are always half the sum ± half the difference:

  72/2 ± 26/2 = {36+13, 36-13} = {49, 23}
