Fresh fruits are of 300 kg
Fresh fruit contains 75% of water
∴ Fresh fruit contains 25% of pulp
⇒ Pulp in 300 kg fresh fruit = 75 kg
Let the quantity of dry fruits obtained be x
⇒ (100 – 20)% of x = 75
⇒ 80/100 × x = 75
⇒ x = 93.75
Hence, 93.75 kg dry fruits can be obtained from 300 kg of fresh fruits.
