Caustic Soda 50% DST to Wet

How would I convert Caustic 50% DST into wet tons?
For example $500 DST would be what wet?

DST is dry short ton (2000 lb); the purity is normally much higher than 50%, close to 100%. Tom convert to wet, you need to know the concentration and 50% is a common concentration (the rest being water)

1 DST would be equivalent to 2 tons of 50% concentration.
