Algebra.Com's Answer #722445 by Shin123(626)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 75 lbs is 15% of the weight of the average tiger, 15%* 6 = 90% That means we have to multiply 75 by 6. 75*6=450 lbs 100%- 90%= 10% 10 is 2/3 of 15. 2/3 of 75 is 75/3=25 25*2=50 450+50=500 lbs The average tiger weight is 500 lbs. \n" ); document.write( " |
