Answer:700grams
Step-by-step explanation:
80 % of 140=112
140-112=28
Dried Grape=28g
140/28=5
100% of 28 is 140g
Fresh Grape=140
140*5=700g
Answer:
The weight of fresh grapes should be 700 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the weight of fresh grapes.
It is given that fresh grapes lose 80% of their weight while drying.
Weight of dried grapes is
[tex]weight= x-\dfrac{80}{100}x=x-0.8x=0.2x[/tex]
It is given that the weight of dried grapes is 140 grams.
[tex]0.2x=140[/tex]
Divide both sides by 0.2.
[tex]x=\dfrac{140}{0.2}[/tex]
[tex]x=\dfrac{140}{0.2}=700[/tex]
Therefore, the weight of fresh grapes should be 700 grams.
