Fresh raspberries are 80% water. Dried raspberries are only 20% water. How many pounds of dried raspberries do you get from 36 lb of fresh berries?

Question

Alex · Accepted Answer

All of these answers are wrong, the real answer is 9 because:

36*0.2(20%)=7.2, this is how much water the berries obtain.

Now you do 7.2 divided by 0.8 which equals 9 -you do this step to find out how much water and the rest of the stuff in the berries.

By the way i'm in 6th grade and hopefully this helps

20% of 36, of course

40% of 36. Fresh ones have 20% non-water. So 20% of that plus 20% water.
