  The fruit content in both the fresh fruit and dry fruit is the same.
  
  Given, fresh fruit has 68% water.so remaining 32% is fruit content. weight of fresh fruits is 100kg
  
  Dry fruit has 20% water.so remaining 80% is fruit content.let weight if dry fruit be y kg.
  
  fruit % in freshfruit = fruit% in dryfruit
  
  (32/100) * 100 = (80/100 )* y
  
  we get
  
  y = 40 kg

• 100 -68=32 kg dry fruits(without water)
  
  .let x be the weight of dry fruit with water then
  x-20% of x=32.
  so x=40.
