Question

fresh fruits contain 68% water and dry fruit contain 20% water. How much dry fruit can be obtained from 100kg of fresh fruits?

Answer 1

20 dry fruits obtained from 100kg of fresh fruits

Answer 2

Given that Quantity of Fresh fruits = 100kg.

Given that Fresh fruits contain 68% water = (100 - 68)% of 100

                                                                       = 32kg.

Let the quantity of dry fruit be x.

Given that dry fruits contain 20% of water = (100 - 20)% of x = 32

                                                                       = 80/100 * x = 32

                                                                       x = 100 * 32/80

                                                                       x = 40.


Therefore the total amount of dry fruit contains in 100 kg fresh fruit = 40.


Hope this helps!
