Question

A piece of potato weighs 20g fresh and 5g dry. What is the percentage water content of the potato?

A. 5%
B. 15%
C. 25%
D. 75%

Answer 1

D. 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

you take the difference of the two which is 15 and divide it by the original weight with water (you want to make sure to always divide the smaller # by the bigger # so you can get a decimal) then you will see that you get a decimal that you convert to a percentage :))

hope this helped ;))
