A pineapple is 7 times as heavy as an orange. the pineapple also weighs 870 grams more than the orange. what is the total weight

san4es73 [151]

Let's translate each sentence into "Math".

Pineapple = p

Orange = x

is means equal

Pineapple is 7 times as heavy as an orange: p = 7x

Pineapple weighs 870 grams more than orange. p = 870 + x

Substitute p = 7x into the second equation:

7x = 870 + x

Subtract x from both sides

6x = 870

divide by 6

x = 145

The orange weighs 145 grams.

The pineapple weights 7 times the orange = 7(145) = 1015 grams.
