Fresh grapes contain 80% while dry grapes contain 10% water. If the weight of dry grapes is 250 kg, what was its total weight when it was fresh? Correct Answer 1125 kg

Quantity of water in 250 kg dry grapes,$$ = \frac{{10}}{{100}} \times 250 = 25\,{\text{kg}}$$Then, pulp of grapes = 225 kgWe get 20 kg pulp in 100 kg fresh grapes.To get 225 kg pulp , we need fresh grapes,$${\text{ = }}\frac{{100 \times 225}}{{20}} = 1125\,{\text{kg}}$$
