Rusty was thirsty, despite the fact that water made up 85% of his body weight. After drinking a considerable amount of water, Rusty weighed 1350 pounds, and water made up 86% of his body weight. What was Rusty's weight before he had his drink? What was the weight of the water he drank?

  Do you have a typo? If so, which number? I can't believe that "Rusty weighed 1350 pounds."

  No typo. Rusty is an elephant.
