Whatever% of anything, is just (whatever/100) * anything.
the syrup is going to be 5lbs total, that includes the sugar in it as well as the water mix.
keeping in mind that the syrup will be a 1.5% syrup, namely 1.5% of it will be sugar, the rest just water then, how much is 1.5% of 5?
well, is just(1.5/100) * 5 or 0.075, namely lbs.
so, 0.075 lbs will be sugar and the rest water, the rest will be 5 - 0.075, or 4.925 lbs.
The have ordered 36 blue T-shirts.

How I got it --- So, we take away 16 from 58. You get 42.
________________________________________
So, from then, you know 36 is 6 times as many as 6, right? ( Because 6 x 6 = 36)
___________________________________________________________
So, then, you have ordered 36 blue shirts and 6 white shirts, because 36 + 6 =42.
