On A Sunny Morning, A Greengrocer Places 200 Kilograms Of Cucumbers In Cases In Front Of His Shop. At That Moment, The Cucumbers Are 99% Water. In The Afternoon, It Turns Out That It Is The Hottest Day Of The Year, And As A Result, The Cucumbers Dry Out A Little Bit. At The End Of The Day, The Greengrocer Has Not Sold A Single Cucumber, And The Cucumbers Are Only 98% Water. How Many Kilograms Of Cucumbers Has The Greengrocer Left At The End Of The Day?

Answer»

Answer 1:

In the morning, the 200 KILOGRAMS of cucumbers are 99% water. So the non-water part of the cucumbers has a mass of 2 kilograms. At the end of the DAY, the cucumbers are 98% water. The remaining 2% is still the 2 kilograms of non-water material (which does not change when the water evaporates). If 2% equals 2 kilograms, then 100% equals 100 kilograms. So, the greengrocer has 100 kilograms of cucumbers left at the end of the day..

Answer 2:

198 KG.
