Cucumbers are on sale, so you buy 29 pounds of them at the local market for your restaurant. each cucumber is actually 96% water. a few days later, the cucumbers have dried out to the point that each is now 89% water. how much do all your cucumbers weigh at this time?

10.55 pounds

Explanation:

The mass of pulp remains constant. That is mass of pulp in the fresh Cucumbers and mass of pulp in the dried cucumber is same.

let the new mass of the cucumber be x pounds

⇒ 4% of 29= 11% of x

⇒x= 4×29/11= 10.55 pounds

so, the mass of all cucumber = 10.55 pounds
