    Let p = weight of papaya and g = weight of grapes.

    Then (3/4) g = (3/5) p. Since the weight of grapes is x + 28,

    (3/4) (x + 28) = (3/5) p. We must solve for x. To do this, mult. both sides by (5/3):

    (5/3) (3/4) (x+28) = (5/3) (3/5) p

    Then p = (15/9) (x+28), or (after reduction), p = (5/3) (x+28).
