Potatoes are made up of 99% water and 1% “potato matter.”
Jack bought 100 pounds of potatoes and left them outside in
the sun for a while. When he returned, he discovered that
the potatoes had dehydrated and were now only made up of 98%
water. How much did the potatoes now weigh?
Answer Posted / kart
total weight = 100 pounds; potato wt= 1pound;water 99 pound
now it has dehydrated and water is 98% of it and potato
matter is the remaining 2%
since weight of potato matter has not decreased
2%=1pound
therefore total weight now 100%=50 pounds
