Question

How many grams of a 17.8% sugar solution contain 68.0 g of sugar?

Answer 1

You will need 382 g of sugar solution.

Explanation:

A 17.8 % sugar solution means that there are 17.8 g of sugar in 100 g of solution.

∴ `"Mass of solution" = 68.0 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g sugar"))) × "100 g solution"/(17.8 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g sugar")))) = "382 g solution"`
