Answer: 120 grams.

Explanation:

Let x be the amount of sugar syrup made by 5% sugar syrup using 6g sugar.

Also, 5% =0.05

Therefore, 5% sugar syrup =5% of x = 0.05x

According to the question, we have


0.05x=6\\\text{Divide 0.05 on the both sides we get}\\\Rightarrow\ x=(6)/(0.05)\\\Rightarrow\ x=(600)/(5)\\\Rightarrow\ x=120

Hence, 120 grams sugar syrup is made by 5% sugar syrup of 6g sugar.
