Question

Dry fruits contain 20% of water and fresh fruits contain 68% of water then how much we can get dry fruits from 100 kg of fresh fruits???

Answer 1

The fruit content in both the fresh fruit and dry fruit is the same.

given,

fresh fruit has 68% water

so remaining 32%(100-68) is fruit content.

weight of fresh fruits is 100kg

dry fruit has 20% water.

so remaining 80% is fruit content.let weight if dry fruit be y kg.

fruit % in freshfruit = fruit% in dryfruit

32/100 * 100 = 80/100 * y

we get y = 40 kg

solid part .

Assume x kg of dry fruit is obtained

since we have 100kg of fresh fruits

Substraction from 100 is done to get solid part!

Fresh fruit ,Dry fruit

100*(100-68) = x*(100-20)

100*32 = 80x

x=40
