Math Problem

I have a Math problem for anyone to try. It is harder than it appears. Likely, your initial answer will be incorrect.
You have a 100 pound bag of potatoes. 99% of the potatoes is water weight. You leave the potatoes outside for a few hours and some of the water evaporates. Now, 98% of the potatoes is water weight. What is the new total weight of the bag of potatoes.
Hint: The answer is below 90.
