Answer:
4.9kg of water
Step-by-step explanation:
Dry basis is the percentage ratio of moisture amount to amount of dry product which is 175%
Ratio of moisture amount to dry product = 175 : 100
Mass of food product = 10kg
Amount of moisture in food product = 175/175+100 × 10kg = 175/275 × 10kg = 6.4kg
Wet basis is the percentage ratio of the moisture amount to the total weight of material which is 15%
Ratio of moisture amount to total weight of material is 15 : 100
Amount of moisture in food product = 15/100 × 10kg = 1.5kg
Amount of water contained in the final product = 1.5kg
Amount of other components in the food product = 10kg - 6.4kg = 3.6kg
Total amount = 1.5kg + 3.6kg = 5.1kg
% of water = 1.5kg/5.1kg × 100 = 29%
