Question

How much water do you add to make 12% sugar syrup using 5g sugar.

Answer 1

Answer:

You know that 5 g of sugar form 12%. Let x g be the amount of water needed. The total amount of syrup will be x+5 g. Then

5 g - 12%,

x+5 g - 100%.

mathematically you can write a proportion;

5/x+5=12/100

=>500=12(x+5)

,500=12x+60

,12x=400,

x=440/12

=110/3

=36 2/3g of water

Answer 2

Answer:

so the syrup is just water and sugar, we know that the sugar percent is just 12%, and that happens to be 5grams.

now 100% - 12% is 88%, so the 88% leftover will just be water.

if 12% is 5g, how much is 88%?
