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.
