<result>D</result>
a side of beef lost 35 percent of its weight in processing. if the side of beef weighed 545 pounds after processing, how many pounds did it weigh before processing?
divide(multiply(545, const_100), subtract(const_100, 35))
let weight of side of beef before processing = x ( 65 / 100 ) * x = 545 = > x = ( 545 * 100 ) / 65 = 838 answer d
