On a sunny morning, a greengrocer places 200 kilograms of cucumbers in cases in front of his shop. At that moment, the cucumbers are 99% water. In the afternoon, it turns out that it is the hottest day of the year, and as a result, the cucumbers dry out a little bit. At the end of the day, the greengrocer has not sold a single cucumber, and the cucumbers are only 98% water.
How many kilograms of cucumbers has the greengrocer left at the end of the day?

• 100 kg
  
  in 200 kg, 2 kg of solid material is there and 198 kg of water as 99% water is there.
  2 kg material remains there and water is evaporated so that 98% water is there now.
  
  Then new weight of cucumbers = 100 kg
