Answer:
[tex]22.5 \textrm pounds[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: weight of pumpkin is 50 pounds
As 25[tex]\%[/tex] of the pumpkin been cut,
= [tex]\frac{25}{100} \times 50 = 12.5 \textrm pounds[/tex]
∴ [tex]W_1[/tex] [tex]12.5 \textrm pounds[/tex] is now reduced.
As now total pulp been took out, which is 30[tex]\%[/tex] of it´s weight
= [tex]\frac{30}{100} \times 50 = 15 \textrm pound[/tex].
∴ [tex]W_2[/tex] is now reduced [tex]15 \textrm[/tex]
Now, taking out the weight of pumpkin after pumpkin been cut and pulp been taken out.
Pumpkin weight= [tex]50 -(W_1 + W_2)[/tex] [tex]= 50 -(12.5 + 15)[/tex]
Pumpkin weight = [tex]50- 27.5 = 22.5\txetrm pounds[/tex]
∴ Now the pumpkin weight is [tex]22.5 \textrm pounds[/tex]
