Floating and sinking

If you get two oranges one is peeled one is not, which one will float? The orange with the skin on it will float because of the lower density, the skin also acts as a life jacket and seals the orange and it will be more buoyant. The orange without the skin will not float because of the high density. If something is hollow it floats better as well because of the air inside of it.
