90% of the grape was water. After some time, the grape dried and its weight decreased by 600g. If 40% of the grape's total weight was water at this point, what was the initial weight of the fruit?

Answer: You just have to multiply the percent and divide it by the weight.

Explanation:

90%*40%= 3600

3600/600= 6 grams
