Answer:

80 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W₁ be the initial weight of water in the grapefruit, W₂ be the weight of water in the grapefruit after evaporation, and M be the total weight of the grapefruit after evaporation. Assuming that, originally, the grapefruit weighed 100 pounds with a 92% water content and the weight of the "non-water" part of the fruit (100 - W₁) does not change. The final weight of the grapefruit (M) is given by:

W_1=0.92*100=92\\W_2=0.90*M\\W_2+(100-W_1) = M\\W_2=M-8\\(1-0.9)M=8\\M=80

The grapefruit now weighs 80 pounds.

What is -0.8+1.4n=2+0.7n
Sergio [31]

Answer:

n=4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve combine your like terms.

You can start by adding 0.8 to both sides and subtracting 0.7n from both sides.

-0.8+1.4n=2+0.7n\\1.4n=2.8+0.7n\\0.7n=2.8

Next, divide both sides by 0.7 to isolate for n.

0.7n=2.8\\n=4
