Answer 1

Answer:

100kg. of fresh fruits have 40kg. of dry fruits in them.

Explanation:

As fresh fruit contain 68% of water 100 kilograms fresh fruits, will have

68kg. of water and hence 100−68=32

kg. of dried portion.

In dry fruits, we have 20% of water and hence dried portion is 100−20=80% .

As such 80 parts of dried portion makes 100 parts of dry fruits and 1 part of dried portion makes 100/

80 parts of dry fruits and 32 kg of dried portion makes 100/ 80×32 kg. of dry fruits

or

100/80×32=40 kg. of dry fruits.

Hence

100kg. of fresh fruits have 40 kg. of dry fruits in them.
