I just need to find the relative humidity thank you!

 
  
Air at 85°F, 1 atm, and 10% relative humidity enter an evaporative cooler operating at a steady
state. The volumetric flow rate of the incoming air is 895 ft³/min. Liquid water at 68°F enters the
cooler and fully evaporates. Moist air exits the cooler at 70°F, 1 atm. There is no significant heat
transfer between the device and its surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects can be
neglected.
Determine the mass flow rate of the dry air, ma, in lb(dry air)/min.
ma = 66.051
Determine the mass flow rate at which liquid enters, m, in lb(water)/min.
mw =
Ib(dry air)/min
0.2079
Ib(water)/min.
Determine the relative humidity at the exit.
