Let x be the new total mass of the potatoes (dry + water). Let d be the dry mass of the potatoes and w, the mass of water within the potatoes. Recall w is 98% of the total mass, that is, w = 0.98x. Therefore, x = d + w = d + 0.98x, i.e., x = d / 0.02 = 50d. In our case, as noted above, d = 1 kg so the new mass of the potatoes will indeed be 50 kg.
