A large pineapple weighs \(925\,\text{g}\). The peel and tough core weigh \(387\,\text{g}\) altogether. How many grams of fruit remain?
Hints
- Think about what remains after the peel and core are removed from the whole pineapple.
- Which operation finds a difference or a remaining amount?
Solution
1. Subtract the weight of the peel and core from the total weight: \(925\,\text{g} - 387\,\text{g} = 538\,\text{g}\).
Answer
\(538\,\text{g}\) of fruit remain.
