    1060 grams

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let the weight of the orange be x, then

    pineapple weighs 7x, and also x + 870

    equating the 2 expressions for the weight of the pineapple

    7x = x + 870 (subtract x from both sides)

    6x = 870 (divide both sides by 6)

    x = 145

    The orange weighs 145 grams and the pineapple 145 + 870 = 1015 grams

    Total weight of both = 145 + 1015 = 1060 grams
