Question

Maria has added 2 liters of pure water to 8 liters of a 48% sugar syrup. What is the concentration of the resulting solution?

Answer 1

We know that
2 liters of pure water = 0 % of sugar 
8 liters of syrup = 48% of sugar

Water = (2 liters x 0%) = 0 total sugar liters
Syrup = (8 liters x 48%) = 3.84 total sugar liters
Total liter mix =8+2-----> 10 liters

Total liters of sugar = 0 + 3.84 = 3.84
if 10 liters-----------> 100%
 3.84 liters--------> x
X=3.84*100/10-----> x=38.4%

the answer is
 38.4%
