Question 1000706: fresh grapes contain 80% of water while dry grapes contain 10% of water. If the weight of dry grapes is 500 then what is its total weight when it is fresh.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Quantity of water in 500kg dry grapes(your problem doesn't say if lbs, kgs, grs, or what, so I used kg. You can call it anything you want):
--------------------------
Q.Water= (10/100)*500 = 50 kg
Then, pulp of grapes = 500-50= 450 kg
--------------------------
We get 20 kg pulp in 100 kg fresh grapes (fresh grapes:80%water, 20% pulp)
To get 450 kg pulp , we need fresh grapes:
= (100*450)/20 = 2250kg.
