Answer:

45g

Explanation:

15 grams sugar = 25% of the mixture

15/25 = 1%

15*100/25 = 100%

1500/25=100%

60 grams

60 grams - 15 grams sugar

45g

Answer:

60g of syrup

Explanation:

If you have 15 g of sugar, this sugar os 25% from x g of syrup.

Then

x g -100%,

15 g - 25%.

Mathematically,


(x)/(15)=(100)/(25),\\ \\x=(100\cdot 15)/(25)=60.
