How much Water do you add to make each concentration 1% sugar syrup using 12 g sugar I saw the other answers were 33 but they were incorrect please help me

Answer 1

Answer:

1188 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the 12g of sugar to be 1% of the whole solution.

So, say you add  grams of water. The solution will be composed of 12 grams of sugar and  grams of water, for a total of  grams.

So, the ratio "sugar/total" will be

and we want this ratio to be 1%, i.e. 1/100:

Multiply both sides by 100 and  to get

Subtract 12 from both sides:

So, a solution composed of 1188 grams of water and 12 grams of sugar will be 99% water and 1% sugar.
