[Music] The water concentration  of this tomato is reduced from 99% to 98%. Guess how much its weight  reduces by? A whopping 50 percent! Is this a joke?! NO. It's math! Here's how.  Let's draw 100 boxes for 100 grams of tomato, out of which, 99 grams is water, rest 1 gram is solid. Now the shrunk tomato has 98 percent water rest two percent solid but the Tomato loses only water so  the solid content in both the tomatoes should be the same, right? yes so two percent of shrunk tomato  must equal
1 gram so the shrunk tomato must weigh 50 grams! now what if the water concentration was  reduced to 96 percent. how much would it weigh now?

4℅ ×🍅=1g 🍅=1×100/4 🍅=25g

@ghoriyopatel9945

It reduces by 75% or its new weight is 25 grams

@Sevenkumar-ej5vc

That 1g in 2 unit is only applicable for solid matter for liquid matter it would be reduced but very very minutely approx 0.121 each box ! Isn't it right

@_theunspokenguy

33g ryt? Cuz reduction of 3%

@Sevenkumar-ej5vc

Even doesn't work practically 😂

@user-qd1yl1je8f

25 gms is the weight when water is reduced to 96%
