For an experiment, Doris brought a container filled with snow into a warm environment. After 4
minutes, 12.88 grams of the snow remained. How many grams of snow were in the container
originally if 44% of it had melted after the 4 minutes?

Answer:

23 grams of snow

Step-by-step explanation:

44% melted, so, 100% - 44% = 56% remained.

56% = 12.88 grams

1% = 12.88/56 = 0.23 grams

100% (= original snow) = 100×1% = 100×0.23 = 23 grams

the question is kind of nonsense, because snow is made of water, and that water weighs the same, if it is in snow form or in liquid form. melting it or freezing it does not change its weight. only its volume.

so, actually the container contained 23 grams of water substance at the beginning, and still contains 23 grams of water substance.
