Answer:
There would be 12 g of salt (12.3 g actually but rounded) and 88g of water (88.7 g actually but rounded)
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, a 14% salt solution means 14g of salt in 100g of water.
What this means is that, the fraction of salt to water in the solution would be 14/100 which is same as 7/50
Now, we want to know the amount of salt and the amount of water in a 100g of 14% salt solution.
Looking at the ratio salt to water, we have 7 to 50
For every 50 parts of water, there are 7 parts of salt.
So the ratio of both is 7:50
For salt, the amount in grammes present will be ;
7/(50 + 7) * 100g = 7/57 * 100 = 12.3 g or 12g to the nearest whole number
The amount in grammes of water present will be ;
50/(50 + 7) * 100g = 50/57 * 100 = 87.7g or 88g to the nearest whole number
