Question

*Translate into an algebraic expression: How much 50% sugar syrup can you make if you have x grams of sugar?

Answer 1

Answer:

w = x/50% = x/50/100

Step-by-step explanation:

We would turn the above question into an algebraic expression using variables.

To make a sugar syrup, we need sugar and water to form the solution.

Amount of sugar = x gram

Let amount of water = w gram

Sugar syrup solution = 50%

Sugar syrup solution = (amount of sugar)/(amount of water) × 100

50% = x/w × 100%

50% = x/w

Making w subject formula

w = x/50%

w = x/50/100
