Fresh Fruit contains 85% of water while dry fruit contains 20% of water. How much quantity of dry Fruit can be obtained from 64 kg of fresh Fruits? Correct Answer 12 kg

Let the quantity of fresh fruit be 100 kg

Pulp in 100 kg fresh fruit = 100 - 85 = 15 kg

Pulp in 1 kg fresh fruit = 15/100 kg

Pulp in 64 kg fresh fruit = 64 × 15/100 = 48/5

Let x quantity of dry fruits is obtained

(100 - 20)% of x = 48/5

x = 4800/400

∴ x = 12
