The mass of dried mushrooms is 11% of the mass of mushrooms for drying

The mass of dried mushrooms is 11% of the mass of mushrooms for drying how many dried mushrooms will be obtained from 2 kg of mushrooms.

Let us denote the initial weight of fresh mushrooms as 100%, and the weight of dried mushrooms as the unknown value of x.

In this case, we get the proportion in which 2 kg of fresh mushrooms refers to 100% as well as x dried mushrooms refers to 11%.

We get:

2/100% = x / 11%.

We multiply the extreme parts of the proportion together.

11 * 2 = 100 * x.

22 = 100 * x.

x = 22/100 = 0.22 kg.

Answer: From 2 kg of fresh mushrooms, you get 0.22 kg of dried ones.
