Here's my attempt to understand what's going on:
100g strawberry total weight where the 100% is made up of 99% water and 1% solid matter.
100g strawberry total weight where the 100g is made up of 99g water and 1g solid matter. 99/100 = 0.99
50g strawberry total weight where the 100% is made up of 98% water and 2% solid matter.
50g strawberry total weight where the 50g is made up of 49g water and 1g solid matter. 49/50 = 0.98
100g strawberry total weight where the 100% is made up of 99% water and 1% solid matter. 100g strawberry total weight where the 100g is made up of 99g water and 1g solid matter. 99/100 = 0.99
50g strawberry total weight where the 100% is made up of 98% water and 2% solid matter. 50g strawberry total weight where the 50g is made up of 49g water and 1g solid matter. 49/50 = 0.98
