Hence, the grapefruit is 20% heavier than the apple.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weight of orange be x.
This means that the weight of grapefruit is:
1.08x

I do RSM and the correct answer is 20%
yes
The answer is 20
20%
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%
the heavier is 20% for sure, but the lighter... is around 16%. probably 16 2/3 like other people are saying.
The correct answer is 16.666...%!
no,
look at how "an apple is 10% lighter ..." became .9
so what percentage do I need to have .8333... ?
whats the answer
its 21
g = 1.08 o -----> o = g/1.08
a = .9 o ---> o = a/.9
g/1.08 = a/.9
.9 g = 1.08a
a = (.9/1.08) g
a = .8333... g
state your conclusion.
