Each day the seals at an aquarium are fed 8 pounds of food for every 100 pounds of their body weight. A seal at the aquarium weighs 280 pounds. How much food should the seal be fed per day?

16 pounds per day

Step-by-step explanation:

You're adding one group of 8 pounds (food) for every 100 pounds of their body weight.

If there are two groups of 100 in 280, multiply the eight pounds of food by 2 to get 16 pounds per day.
