We have been given that in the morning an iceberg weighed 380,000 pounds. It lost 0.3% of its weight during the day. We are asked to find the weight of the ice-berg at the end of the day.
The weight of the ice-berg at the end of the day would be original weight of ice-berg minus 0.3% of original weight.
[tex]\text{The weight of the ice-berg at the end of the day}=380,000-380,000\times \frac{0.3}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\text{The weight of the ice-berg at the end of the day}=380,000-3800\times 0.3[/tex]
[tex]\text{The weight of the ice-berg at the end of the day}=380,000-1140[/tex]
[tex]\text{The weight of the ice-berg at the end of the day}=378,860[/tex]
Therefore, the weight of the ice-berg at the end of the day would be 378,860 pounds.
