Grapefruit=108
Orange=100
Apple=90
a) (108-90)/90*100 = 18/90*100=20%
b) (108-90)/108= 18/108*100=16 2/3%
Answer:
The grapefruit is 20% heavier than the orange:)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weight of orange be x.
This means that the weight of grapefruit is:
1.08x
( Since grapefruit is: 8% heavier than orange )
Also, the weight of apple is 10% lighter than apple.
This means that the weight of apple is: 0.90 x
13
x² = 5²+12²
x² = 25+144
x² = 169
x² = 13²
x = 13
