The mass of 15.0 % (m/m) NaOH solution that contains 125 g NaOH is 833.33 g


calculation

m/m% = mass of solute/ mass of solvent x 100

M/M% = 15.0% into fraction= 15/100

mass of solute (NaOH) = 125 g

let the mass of solvent ( NaOH solution) be represented by Y


Therefore 15/100 = 125/Y

by cross multiplication

=15 x Y =125 x 100

15 y = 12500

divide both side by 15

y =833.33 g
