Question

A pharmacist added 50 g of drug to make a total of 200 mL of solution. What is the percentage of drug in the resultant solution?

Answer 1

The percentage of drug in the resultant solution is 25% .

Explanation:

Given :A pharmacist added 50 g of drug to make a total of 200 mL of solution.

To Find : What is the percentage of drug in the resultant solution?

Solution:

Amount of drug = 50 g

Amount of solution = 200 ml

So, the percentage of drug in the resultant solution =
`\frac{\text{Amount of drug}}{\text{Amount of solution}} * 100`

=
`(50)/(200) * 100`

=
`25\%`

Hence The percentage of drug in the resultant solution is 25% .
