99% water by wt.??????
if yes, then 1% = 100 kg

so 99% = 9900 kg!!!!!!


now 2% = 100 kg

then 98% = 4900 kg

=========================


oh!!!!!!!!!!!! okkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

i guess the question is 100 kgs have 99%water inside the potatoes. i am so stupid


total wt = 100 kgs of which is 99% is water.

so, wt of potatoes only w/o water = 1kg

wt of water is 99 kg


now water evaporates; 1 kg = 2% now

so 98% = 49 kg


so total wt now = 50 kg


So, 49 kgs of water has been evaporated and wt now is 50 kgs.


Do i need to repeat it 3 times cuz' u repeated the question 3 times and i too, read it 3 times and that makes both of us....... ........lol!
