Question

Fresh fruit contains 68% of water and dry fruit contains 20% of water. Then how much dry fruits have in 100 kilograms of fresh fruits?

Answer 1

Step 1: Given data

1. Fresh fruits contain 68% water = 68 Kg water in 100 Kg of fresh fruits
2. Dry fruits contain 20% water = 20 Kg of water in 100 Kg of fresh fruits

Step 2: Calculation

1. Dried portion of fresh fruits = 100−68 = 32 Kg of a dried portion
2. Dried portion of dry fruits = 100-20 = 80 Kg of a dried portion
3. Therefore, 1Kg of Dried portion = 100/80 Kg of dry fruits.
4. As 32 Kg of dry portion = 40 Kg of dry fruits and 100Kg of fresh fruits = 32 Kg of the dry portion.
5. Hence, 100 kg of fresh fruits has 40 kg of dry fruits in them.
