            140kg? (if your asking to find the same amount of water)
            if not
            20kg, because 1 dry mango weighs as much as 1 fresh mango

                        Math obviously isn't GFY's strong suit.

                                Ok lets break this problem down, shall we?

                                We know that a fresh mango contains 70% water by weight. Therefore 20 kg of fresh mangos contain 14 kg of water and 6 kg
                                of mango "solids".

                                We also know that dried mangoes contain 10% water by weight. If we have 6kg of mango "solids" that means that in a dried mango there are .6kg of water.

                                Thus the total weight of the dried mangos is 6.6kg.

                                            You say that it is 6kg of mango solids - so NO water

                                            70% of 20kg's is 14kg, so when you dry it and it is 10% water you still use 20kgs as the ammount - so 10% of 20kg is 2kg plus your 6kgs of "solids" and you have 8kg of dry mango

                                                20 * .3 = 6kg mango * 1.1(water) = 6.6kg

                                                  70% of 20kg's is 14kg, so when you dry it and it is 10% water you still use 20kgs as the ammount - so 10% of 20kg is 2kg plus your 6kgs of "solids" and you have 8kg of dry mango
                                                  No. The original statement said dried mango's contain 10% water by weight. Not that dried mangos contain 10% of the their original weight.

                                                  I think perhaps this thread offers an insite into the "shaving" issue. Perhaps there really is no such thing as shaving, but rather 95% of the people in this industry suck at math.

                                                      yeah, 6.6kg seems fine

                                                      but the question is not well formulated

                                                        Actually cant be 6.6

                                                        10% water = .66kg


                                                        6.6 - .66 = 5.94

                                                        We know that the "solids" must be 6kgs, so it cant be 6.6

                                                        I think I need to lay down now........ who asked this anyway!!

                                                                              We know that a fresh mango contains 70% water by weight. Therefore 20 kg of fresh mangos contain 14 kg of water and 6 kg
                                                                              of mango "solids".

                                                                              We also know that dried mangoes contain 10% water by weight. If we have 6kg of mango "solids" that means that in a dried mango there are .6kg of water.

                                                                              Thus the total weight of the dried mangos is 6.6kg.
                                                                              This is the CORRECT answer. actually close to the correct answer...

                                                                              this is absolutely correct

                                                                              Definitely 6.66

                                                                              If 20 kg of mango is 70% water, then you have 6 kg that is "not water."

                                                                              But when you dry the mango you can't get down to just 6 kg; we know there will be some water left and the resulting substance will be 10% water by weight.

                                                                              The rest is algebra:

                                                                              X = 6 + .10X

                                                                              .9X = 6

                                                                              X = 6/.9

                                                                              X = 6.66

                                                                              Good Job !
