Objects on Jupiter weigh 240% of their weight on Earth. If an object weighs 30.5 pounds on Earth, how many pounds would it weigh on Jupiter?

732

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 732 because if we start off with 30.5 and then get our 240%, what will happen next is that we will move the decimal spot 2 places on the 240%. So 240% now becomes .240 and NOT a percent yet because we need to do one more thing. After we do this we can then do 30.5x.240 which leads to 7.32. But because this number is too small and it even wouldnt make sense in this question, now we move the decimal spot to the right, so before we did left but now we go right. And when we do this it will finally give out answer of 732 pounds.
