100 pounds of fresh grapes contains 80% of water
less:100 pounds of dried grapes contains 15% of water
65% more water in fresh grapes
in 30 pounds of fresh grapes contains 30X65/100 = 19.5 water
Therefore out of 30 pounds you may get (30 - 19.5)= 10.5 dried grapes

10.5
Wet, you have 24 lbs water, 6lbs non-water. dry is .15/.80 water, so you have 4.5 lbs water and 6lbs non-water
