Question

Fresh fruit contains 68% water and dry fruit contains 20% water. How much dry fruit can be obtained form 55 kg of fresh fruits.

Answer 1

Hi

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

Given, fresh fruit has 68% water.so remaining 32% 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

Therefore, (32/100) x 100 = (80/100 ) x y

we get, y = 40 kg.

Hoping it helps

Answer 2

hi

giving an example

Quantity of water in 250 kg dry grapes,

= (10 /100) *250 = 25 kg

Then, pulp of grapes = 225 kg

We get 20 kg pulp in 100 kg fresh grapes.

To get 225 kg pulp , we need fresh grapes,

= (100 *225)/20 = 1125 kg.

hoping it helps
