Percentage

  • pickles = 1000 pounds
  • onions = 500 pounds
  • sugar = 900 pounds
  • salt brine = 75 pounds
  • spices = 5 pounds

Total = 1000 + 500 + 900 + 75 + 5

= 2,480 pounds

pickles are 92% water

= 92/100 × 1000

= 920 pounds

onions are 85% water

= 85/100 × 500

= 425 pounds

salt brine is 88% water

= 88/100 × 75 pounds

= 66 pounds

Total water in the mixture = 920 pounds + 425 pounds + 66 pounds

= 1,411 pounds

  • Percentage of water evaporated = 18%

Amount of water evaporated = 18/100 × 1,411 pounds

= 253.98 pounds

Weight of the relish prepared = 2,480 pounds - 253.98 pounds

= 2,226.02 pounds
