Question More Mathematics
Ok, here is another math exercise. This one is also from an old book, but for the 6th grade. So, pay attention!

100 lbs of berries were delivered to storage. The original water content of the berries at the time of delivery was 99% by weight. After 3 days the berries water content fell 1% (the berries dried up, you know).
Question: how much do the berries weight after these 3 days?

As usual, whoever posts the correct answer first, gets a free sticker. Rick Bernotas, you already answered one question correct today, so sit quiet.

98 is not the right answer no matter how you label it.

Nope, some of the water from the berries dried up; therefore they weight less than 100 lbs after 3 days...

It's not 92. It's not 91, not 90, and not 89 pounds. Try to solve it, like your life depends on it! As if you get it wrong one more time, the ceiling in your room will start to come down, and crush your bones.
