A giant pumpkin is 90% water and weighs 250 pounds. The pumpkin is placed on
display as the largest pumpkin of the year at the LA county fair. During the week-long
fair, the pumpkin loses water from being outside in the heat. At the end of the week,
the pumpkin is only 80% water. How much does the pumpkin weigh at the end of the
week?
