Question

Фермер вёз на рынок продавать 1 тонну огурцов, но так как огурцы почти полностью состоят из воды он замерил влагу в них, при этом влаги в них было 99 %. Пока он приехал на рынок он привёз огурцы, но замерив влагу в них она была 98 %. Вопрос сколько в килограммах огурцов привёз крестьянин на рынок?

Answer 1

1т. = 1000 кг - 99%
            х кг    - 98%
х=98*1000/99=989,9 кг - привез на рынок

Answer 2

Calculation of the Weight of Cucumbers

To calculate the weight of cucumbers the farmer brought to the market, we need to use the information provided about the water content of the cucumbers.

The farmer initially measured the water content in the cucumbers and found it to be 99%. However, when he arrived at the market and measured the water content again, it was 98%.

To calculate the weight of the cucumbers, we can assume that the water content is the only variable that changed. We can set up a proportion to solve for the weight of the cucumbers.

Let's assume the weight of the cucumbers the farmer brought to the market is "x" kilograms.

The proportion can be set up as follows:

(99% water / 100% total weight) = (98% water / x kilograms)

To solve for "x," we can cross-multiply and solve for "x":

(99/100) = (98/x)

Cross-multiplying:

99x = 98 * 100

Dividing both sides by 99:

x = (98 * 100) / 99

Using a calculator, we find that x is approximately 98.99 kilograms.

Therefore, the farmer brought approximately 98.99 kilograms of cucumbers to the market.

Please note that the weight of the cucumbers is an approximation based on the given information and the assumption that the water content is the only variable that changed.
