A grapefruit is 8% heavier than an orange, and an apple is 10% lighter than the orange.

By what percentage is the grapefruit heavier than the apple?

Hello!

Since the apple is 10% lighter than the orange and the grapefruit is 8% heavier than the orange we add these two together

10 + 8 = 18

The answer is 18%

Hope this helps!
