8%=0.08 and 100%=1 (100% represents the original weight in percentaje)
If x is the weight you can express: 1x-0.08x=15.1
solve for x: 0.92x=15.1
x= 15.1/0.92=16.1

The linear speed of one of the cars is 7.75 feet per second

The cars (seats) of a Ferris wheel are positioned 74 feet from its center.

The radius, r = 74 feet

The Ferris wheel makes 4 revolutions every 4 minutes

Number of revolutions per minute = 1

Angular speed, w = 1 rev/min

Angular speed, w = 0.10472 rad/sec

The relationship between the linear speed (v), and the angular speed (w) is:

v  =  wr

Substitute w = 0.10472  and r = 74 feet into the formula:

v  =  0.10472  x  74

v  =  7.75 feet per second

The linear speed of one of the cars is 7.75 feet per second
