Question

A pharmacist added 50 g of drug to make a total of 200 mL of solution. What is the percentage of drug in the resultant solution?

Answer 1

Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A pharmacist added 50 g of drug to make a total of 200 mL of solution.

Here, Resultant solution =  200 mL

Amount of drug = 50 g

We know that 1 gram = 1 ml

So, we can say the amount of drug = 50 ml

Now, the percentage of drug in the resultant solution:-

$\dfrac{50}{200}\times100=25\%$

Hence, the percentage of drug in the resultant solution= 25%
