Answer:

11.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of salt which Larry has to mix= 15 grams

In 210 gm of salt solution, content of salt= 5%

Amount of salt in salt solution= 5 % of 210 grams

Amount of salt in salt solution= \frac{5}{100} of 210 grams

Amount of salt in salt solution= \frac{21}{2}

Amount of salt in salt solution= 10.5 grams

Now the 15 grams of salt have to mix with 5% of salt solution

Total amount of salt= 15+ 10.5

Total amount of salt = 25.5 gram

Total amount of salt solution=15+ 210= 225 grams

Percentage of salt in new solution=\frac{amount of new salt}{ amount of new solution} ×100

Percentage of salt in new solution=\frac{25.5}{ 225} ×100

Percentage of salt in new solution= 0.13333×100

Percentage of salt in new solution= 11.33%  (approx)

Hence, the correct answer is 11.33%
