Answer 2

Answer: 1725g of water  is used to make bottle of syrup . The bottle has 1875g of syrup .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 150g of sugar was used to make a bottle of 8% syrup.

Let the total mass of the syrup be x grams.

Then we have $8%\ of\ x=150$

$\Rightarrow 0.08x=150\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{150}{0.08}\\\\\Rightarrow x=1875\ g$

Therefore, The bottle has 1875g of syrup .

The amount of water used to make this bottle of syrup =$1875\ g-150\ g$

Hence, the amount of water used to make this bottle of syrup =$1725\ g$
