If grapes are 92% water and raisins are 20% water, then how much did a quantity of raisins, which currently weighs 15 pounds, weigh when all the raisins were grapes? (Assume that the only difference between their raisin-weight and their grape-weight is water that evaporated during their transformation.)
Options:
A) 25 pounds  B) 46 pounds  C) 150 pounds  D) 100 pounds  E) 146 pounds
Since only water evaporates, then the weight of pulp (non-water) in grapes and raisins is the same. Thus 0.08*{weight of grapes}=0.8*{weight of raisins} --&gt; 0.08x = 0.8*15 --&gt; x = 150.   Answer: 150 pounds.
