Weight of water (Gallon=8.345404lbs) into 99% of 100lb total, which will equal total water weight, then multiple by 98%?

I give up. Math sux. I failed.

Assumption solids are conserved (1st low of Idahodynamics)
Solids =1 lb
Water + solids = ?
water/(water+solids) = .98
water = 49 lbs

Therefor ? = 50.0 Lbs
yup

Initially 1:99 then after water loss it's 2:98 or 1:49. QED
