Clay original sample contains 40% silica , 15% water so total non water component is 100 - 15 = 85 gram .Now sample is partially dried and loses 5 gram water .Again dried clay contains 8 % water means 8 g water . Therefore total non water component is 100-8 = 92 gram.Now percent of silica in partially dried sample will be 40/85×92= 43.29%
