Question

By weight, $90\%$ of tomato and $78\%$ of potato is water. Find the weight of water in $25kg$ of tomato.

Answer 1

Step : Finding the weight of water in $25kg$ of tomato

Given: Weight of water in a tomato $=90\%$ of the total weight of tomato.

Therefore,

Weight of water in $25kg$ of tomato

$=90\%$ of $25kg$

$=90\%\times 25$

$=\frac{90}{100}\times 25$

$=\frac{9\times 25}{10}=\frac{225}{10}=22.5kg$

Hence, the weight of water in $25kg$ of tomato is $22.5kg$.
