An adolescent snail’s mass is 60% of an adult. the adolescent snail’s mass is 39 grams. what is the adult’s mass, in grams? 41 45 62 65

An adolescent snail’s mass is 60% of an adult. The adolescent snail’s mass is 39 grams .The adult mass is equal to 65 grams.

Solution:

Given that adolescent snail’s mass is 60% of an adult.

Let assume mass of an adult = x grams

So adolescent snail’s mass = 60% of x grams

adolescent snail’s mass =  --- eqn 1

From question, it’s given that adolescent snail’s mass is 39 grams.

So we can say eqn1 is equal to 39

3x=195

x = 65 grams

Hence the adult mass is equal to 65 grams.

0 is its x and y coordinate
