each of the cucumbers in 100 pounds of cucumbers is composed of 99 % water, by weight. after some of the water evaporates, the cucumbers are now 97 % water by weight. what is the new weight of the cucumbers, in pounds?
multiply(divide(subtract(100, 99), subtract(100, 97)), 100)
"out of 100 pounds 99 % or 99 pounds is water and 1 pound is non - water . after somewaterevaporates the cucumbers become 97 % water and 3 % of non - water , so now 1 pound of non - water composes 3 % of cucucmbers , which means that the new weight of cucumbers is 1 / 0.03 = 34 pounds . answer : b ."
