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 / ankur bansal
100 pounds make 400*100=40,000 gms means 40 kgs
98% of water+ 1% of potato material makes it 99%
weight of potatoes is now= 99*(40/100)=39.6 kg
