Answer:

  50 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Before drying, the cranberries have ...

  (100% -99%)(100 lb) = 1 lb

of "meat."

After drying, that represents (100% -98%) = 2% of the total weight. Then the total weight is ...

  1 lb = 2%·x

  x = (1 lb)/0.02 = 50 lb

The dried cranberries will weigh 50 lb.

How much of a 14% solution of iodine should be added to 89 ounces of a 47% iodine solution to get a 29% solution
Andrews [41]
We have 89 ounces of 47% iodine.
We will add "x" ounces of 14% iodine to get a 29% iodine solution.
89 * .47 + .14x = .29 * (89 + x)
41.83 + .14x = 25.81 + .29x
16.02 = .15x
x = 106.80
So, we must add 106.80 ounces of 14% iodine to get a 29% iodine solution.
(for a total of 195.80 ounces)
