And the question says that the burger loses 1/3 of its weight in the cooking process. That means 2/3 of the weight remains. Thus, 2/3 of the remaining weight is your quarter pounder.


Let X be the original weight of the burger before it is cooked. We can set up an equation like this:

(2/3)X = 1/4

X = 3/8

So the original weight of the burger is 3/8 lbs. If you want to make 96 burgers, multiply 3/8 by 96.

Is the answer 36?
Agree.
