Samples of the contents of the alimentary canal were taken at two points, X and Y. Point Y is further along the alimentary canal than point X.
| Sample | Mass of water (g) | Mass of material other than water (g) |
|---|---|---|
| At point X | 90 | 30 |
| At point Y | 45 | 30 |
Calculate the percentage of each sample that is water.
Suggest which part of the alimentary canal lies between point X and point Y. Use the data to explain your answer.
