It’s got nothing to do with biology dumbass.
It’s a math problem, pure and simple.

If they are 99% water, then .99*100=99 lbs of water and 1 pound of potato. If they drop to 98% water you still have the 1 pound of potato, but instead of it being 1% of the weight, its now 2% of the weight. So if 1 pound is 2% of something. 1=.02x or 1/.02=x. So x=50 lbs.

The 2:98 ratio reduces to 1:49

7, it’s 7 isn’t it?

X / (X+1) = 0.98
Solve for X.
X = 49 (weight of water in lbs)
Total weight = X + 1 = 50 lbs
Solve for X.
X = 49 (weight of water in lbs)
Total weight = X + 1 = 50 lbs

Can't anyone do simple algebra around here?
The total weight after dehydration is 50 lbs - 1 lb non-water and 49 lbs water. I'll let you explain how to get there since it's your homework assignment.

Potatoes are like 80% water idiot.
Therefore I’m not doing your homework.

98.98989898....
100/99 = x/98
100/99 = x/98
Posted on 8/12/18 at 10:58 am to tonydtigr
99+(100*(98/99))

I ate a microwaved potato last night and baked chicken. Makes me think about how much water was lost in the process. But the butter I added might have evened things out. I will come up with your answer in a little while.

The volume of potato doesn’t double, it gets replaced by air when the water leaves the system.
You have 1% potato, 1% air, 98% water.
How much does that weigh?
Posted on 8/12/18 at 12:58 pm to tonydtigr
If potatoes are 99% water by weight, what % water by weight are watermelons?
Posted on 8/12/18 at 1:22 pm to tonydtigr
What in the world are you possibly gonna do with that many potatoes?
